Chuck Todd just said that the Harris campaign will make a play for Florida

[Wanderlust988]

Something unimaginable a few weeks ago. But they have the money to do it. I didn't realize Biden only lost FL by 3%. Crazy to think about it.

For some reason, I think Ohio might be more gettable than Florida. What do you all think?

[flying_wahini]

1. I sure wish they would throw some support behind Colin Allred (running against Ted Cruz)

Texas is so close but never much attention.

[MagickMuffin]

14. Yes, I want them to come to Texas preferably DFW

I think it would have a tremendous impact.

Harris Walz campaign rally featuring Rep Colin Allred running for Senate and let’s help him defeat Ted Cruz!

[DUgosh]

2. I wish her team would consider Texas

Just to see my neighbors heads explode

[dsc]

3. I would prefer them to spend money in Montana and Ohio

not on themselves but on Tester and Brown. We need to win both of those seats to hold the Senate and both will be hard. Montana, in particular, is a bargain. Assuming Florida would cost $20 million to make competitive spend $10 million in each of those two states.

[Dock_Yard]

8. I have modestly contributed to both incumbents' campaigns (I'm not a resident)

And if there was ANY WAY to defeat Gym Jordan, I'd go there too.

But ... severe gerrymandering pretty much guarantees he keeps his seat ... Ohio legislature needs to be changed over to majority Dem for districts to be redrawn properly, that will take years.

[dsc]

15. Jordan's seat is a lost cause sadly

[krawhitham]

19. Down by 5 in FL VS down by 10 in OH & down by 23 in MT

[dsc]

24. that is why I said spend it on Brown (Ohio) and Tester (MT)

Carpet bomb MT with ads for Tester.

[Sky Jewels]

35. We can do both approaches.

The money is flowing to the blue side.

[OLDMDDEM]

4. I believe both can be taken. Vance is making himself look like and idiot to his constituents, so Ohio is in play IMHO.

Florida may be in play as Dumpy is also making himself look like he really is, a full blown buffoon.

[krawhitham]

20. It's not, I live here, it's really not

A lot more trump yard signs than in 2020, and were 70+ days out

I drive the same 20 minute stretch almost every day, in 2020 I saw 12 trump signs and 5 Biden signs right before the election. This year it's 35 trump signs, and 1 Harris sign.


And yes I keep track of this type of thing (spreadsheet and all), I find it nice that maga announces where the racist live

[OLDMDDEM]

22. Too bad. I hope that isn't true statewide.

[obamanut2012]

31. When I lived there I NEVER put signs in my yard

Too many MAGAT older Boomers and Silent Generation folks in my neighborhood. Signs mean nothing.

Hell, I live in a good blue city in CA now and still won't put out political signs.

[33taw]

5. Fla has marijuana and abortion on the ballot.

This gives Harris a great opportunity.

[rzemanfl]

13. I would love to see Florida become blue again.

It is in play.

[GoreWon2000]

17. I hope all Florida votes will be counted this time, unlike 2000!

[whopis01]

21. Even if Harris doesn't win the state

Her making a good showing, along with the increased turnout for the ballot amendments, will benefit other Democratic candidates running for office in Florida.

[speak easy]

6. No money for FL presidential campaign!

Spend up big down the FL ticket, and the tight battleground races. If we win Florida, it will be a bonus like 2008, and 2012.

[Qutzupalotl]

7. With pot and abortion rights on the ballot,

Florida is definitely in play. May Rick Scott go down to defeat, and take useless Ted Cruz of Texas with him!

[obamanut2012]

30. I think this will help Debbie Mucarsel-Powell and Whitney Fox, and teh amendments

[JT45242]

9. DeSantis and Crazy republican antics help up and down the ballot in FL...basically a test run of Project 2025

Fire public servants and rep[ace with loyalists cronies -- check

Dismantle public education -- check

Go after reproductve rights -- check
Dehumanize LGBTQ+ -- check

DeSantis fights with Disney, librarians, New College, etc. should be portrayed as the R party test run for P2025 and how disastrous it will be for people.

[TlalocW]

10. There was talk when Biden was the nominee

About opening a Florida office. I don't know if he did, but he was mocked for it. I thought it was a good idea though because even then the campaign had way more money than Trump and could spare some in order to make Trump respond in kind, spreading his smallee reserves thinner over swing states.

Now the numbers and enthusiasm are even better for Harris so that will probably happen.

[Tribetime]

11. Either Florida Ohio or Texas Im in heaven

[bucolic_frolic]

12. North Carolina

There's such chicanery in GA I'm not sure it's worth the effort. Best to pick off another

[Fritz Walter]

16. Can't wait to plant a Harris-Walz campaign sign in front of my house

I figure that -- after the convention -- the local Democratic Party office will make them available. In abundance! I want to be the first on my block!

Oh, and if there's a "Mind Your Own Damn Business" yard sign, I'd like to add that too, to counter the "Vote No on 4" supporters in my 'hood. (Amendment 4 would protect women's -- and girls' -- reproductive freedom statewide).

[krawhitham]

18. Judging by yard signs, Ohio is NOT more gettable. It's a 30-1 ratio around Cincinnati, yeah it's that bad

No we most likely will not get FL either, but that is not really the goal. The goal is to make trump spend a lot of money holding on the FL

[Tetrachloride]

23. Chuck is saying something that was obvious when the stories on The Villages came out.

Let the foreshadowing sink in. Then the announcement. "They're coming."

[JCMach1]

25. Double dipping. It's also about the Senate race

And a handful of House races that can tip the House back.

With abortion on the ballot and the Mass Deportation NOW signs, there is absolutely a chance to take FL by 1 or 2%.

[obamanut2012]

28. Yup, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, Whitney Fox, and the amendments are very important

And, helping Nikki Fried jumpstart the Dems in FL. Loved seeing her at the Roll Call.

[RandySF]

26. I'll believe it when I see it.

Fool's errand if true,

[appmanga]

37. Florida is worth the investment

The ballot amendments coupled with Rick Scott being more unpopular than Ted Cruz AND typhoid makes Florida a worthy play. The Latino community in and around Orlando is much different than the one in Miami; each requires different messaging, but both require that you be present.

[obamanut2012]

27. They may hink it will at least help Debbie Mucarsel-Powell and Whitney Fox win

And help boost Nikki Fried as the FL Dem head (she is doing her best there), and get the abortion and weed amendments passed.

I say it depends. I don't think Harris can flip it blue, but maybe they can do the above and help us in the Senate and House. I think NC is more flippable -- Biden lost NC by 1.2%.

[oldsoftie]

29. Fine but I'll be happy with NC, PA, WI & MI. Perfectly happy. nt

[obamanut2012]

32. same

[arlyellowdog]

33. New era in yard signs

By this time in 2008, there was an Obama yard sign on every house and car in my deep blue community. I don’t see as many Harris, but the excitement and commitment is just as deep. But, even here, Democrats are nervous about yard signs and bumper stickers. What has changed? The scary crazy of Trumpers who will cut you off or damage your house.

[senseandsensibility]

36. EXACTLY

I see the same thing in my deep blue area. I'm sure it's because of what you describe. Sad and frustrating.

[comradebillyboy]

34. I'll take Chuck Toad's predictions with a

grain of salt. Last I heard the Fla Democratic Party was in shambles and has been for several years now. That might change but I wouldn't bet the bank on it.
