Andrew Gillum, the Florida Democrat who lost last year's contested governor's race, announced an ambitious registration project Wednesday aimed at undermining President Trump's chances of winning the Sunshine State in 2020.
In announcing a plan turn 1 million Florida voters blue, the former Tallahassee mayor also ruled out a 2020 White House bid, ending speculation he would leverage his newfound national name recognition into a presidential run.
"We the people are greater than the people in power," Gillum said during a rally at Florida Memorial University. "We've got to know that, we have to believe that, we have to command that, and we've got to go to work to make that true."
"And so today, I came down here to Miami Dade, Fla., to share with you that our partners and so many others, that we are going to make a commitment that all that we went through, that all that we've worked for, 70,000 volunteers who organized on our behalf across this state and over million cell phone conversations that we opened up two-way communication with, the 4 million plus voters that we received, the people who care deeply about this state, that collectively we are going to commit ourselves to registering and engaging 1 million voters between now and 2020's presidential election," he said.
