Flip the Script: Democrats believe abortion can put Florida in play in November

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are locked in a fight for seven swing states that appear to be in control of who will be the next president. But outside the Rust Belt and Sun Belt contests that have dominated everyone’s attention, Republicans and Democrats are both putting states no one expects to be competitive on their November wish list. The Washington Examiner looked at four contests where the parties are looking to flip the script and steal a win where no one expected they could.

The Sunshine State has moved solidly toward Republicans in recent years after traditionally being considered a battleground state — but some Democrats think President Joe Biden could stage an upset in Florida in November.

Former President Donald Trump calls Palm Beach, Florida, home, but Biden and Democrats are hoping to crash the party with several key issues, central among them being abortion. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have made visits to the Sunshine State, while the campaign appointed its state leadership team in March, followed by its first field office in Hillsborough County in April — a sign they are bullish on their chances in Florida.

“Donald Trump may think he can take Florida for granted,” Harris said at an event on abortion policy in Florida in May. “It is your power that will send Joe Biden and me back to the White House.”

When asked about the president’s hopes for flipping Florida blue, the Biden campaign pointed the Washington Examiner to a memo from April, in which campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez spelled out how there is an opening for the president to win Florida’s 30 electoral votes in November.

“Our agenda, our coalition, and the unique dynamics this election presents make it clear: President Biden is in a stronger position to win Florida this cycle than he was in 2020,” Chavez Rodriguez said in the memo.

The Rat party in FL is in shambles.  The DNC will not spend money in FL. Rats will lose in FL.

SO they are saying, "But there is still a chance"

In all my years of politics, I've observed that silver bullets rarely win elections.

But if that's what America wants, they'll get their just rewards.

Along with the pot initiative, the added turnout could flip a few seats in downticket races.  But as far as making the statewide races competitive, that isn't happening.  Dems led registration 37-35 at the 2018 midterms.  Now they trail 39-32.

There are close to 1M more Republicans registered to vote than Rats in FL.

Is party registration gonna make a difference on this one?

The last (actually the only) poll I saw regarding the Florida abortion amendment ballot issue showed 61% approval.

That's SIXTY-ONE PERCENT, for anyone numerically challenged.

Looks like support is cutting right through party affiliation like a hot knife through butter.

Got a poll that shows differently?

The amendments will not have significant coattails in FL.  The polls have Trump and Scott leading by comfortable margins, and nobody expects the party to lose its majority in the legislature.
