A Florida area known for being a "hotbed of Trump support" is reportedly seeing a bump in enthusiasm for Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday.
As Trump and Harris gear up to face one another in November's election, each candidate has made an effort to make inroads on the territories typicall...
Florida has been a swing many times. It made Gore lose. It’s always tight there. Texas? No way. That will always be red.
If 3% of the voters flipped in 2020 Texas would have been Blue. Less than 2% in Florida. The margins aren’t as big as we many make them out to be. I thought for sure it would be to late to change candidates at this point, but I never thought I’d see this much support for Harris with how many racist and sexist people I encounter in person compared to 10 years ago. Note also, Florida voted blue in 2008 and 2012. (Obama).
Not saying either are going to flip blue, but a surprise could happen if there are any conservative “values” left in the conservative party.
The less policies that target hispanics from voting, the purpler texas gets. My sister lives in Dallas and the support for Harris in the cities is colossal right now. They’re a democrat president and a governor away from being swing, but those are hard to fight for.
I’m hoping all the people who have moved there from CA these past couple of years can make a difference, too
I live in Texas and one thing with all the people moving from CA is that they are mostly red voters. A lot of them were willing to move here because they felt it would better represent them while the blue people stayed. At least this is the sentiment that I’ve seen expressed from the people that moved here
Oregon here, so many family and coworkers have moved to texas and florida because of “liberal politics.” They hated the covid lockdown and want to open carry guns (which ironically is legal here).
People forget that California is massive. It has more R voters than most red states. It just has more D voters in the aggregate.
Oof :(
Florida actually voted in favor of Gore, but the recount was halted when the SC fucking meddled in politics.
