BAD NEWS For Democrats In FLORIDA!
The Democratic Party’s decision to switch from President Joe Biden to Vice President Kamala Harris may not yield any fruit in Florida, according to Evan Power, chairman of the Florida Republican Party.
Power, in an interview with Breitbart News Saturday, discussed how the Democrat Party is struggling with voters in the state. The Republican leader insisted that the party is “dead on the side of the road.” As the GOP in Florida approaches a lead of one million voters, Power outlined his party’s strategy for maintaining this advantage.
How did Florida turn back to red? Running great candidates who kept their promises and empowering the grassroots and giving them resources. https://t.co/cY4VusSOMF

“I don’t think changing candidates will do anything to inspire Democrats in Florida. They went from a 100,000 voter advantage four years ago, to now next week we’re probably going to cross a million Republican voter advantage. So, they’re dead on the side of the road.” In the interview, Power highlighted that the Republican Party’s success is due to fielding strong candidates who have either fulfilled or actively advocated for their campaign promises. Additionally, he emphasized the importance of empowering the grassroots movement by equipping them with the necessary resources and materials to mobilize effectively.
“I think it starts with your candidates. What we’ve had in Florida is candidates who run and made campaign promises. And, when they got elected into government, and state government, and even into Congress, they’ve delivered on the promises they’ve made or advocated for those promises if they’re in Congress. And, so what you’ve seen in Florida is we’ve become a conservative beacon of freedom because of the way our state government is run,” Power said. “We’ve empowered our grassroots in the county level to go out and register voters, and we’re trying to give them the resources and materials they need to be successful, and what we’re seeing is people are signing up for that freedom that the legislature is giving them. We have our grassroots army out there encouraging them and making them sign up, so that they join the team, and then now we’re going to get them out to vote and we’re going to win Florida, and we’re going to win it big.”
But @NikkiFried and the @FlaDems told me they had momentum! Notice the press won’t be all over this https://t.co/hQerRnYkmG

With the November elections drawing closer, Power discussed the party’s strategy for ensuring Trump’s victory in November.
“What we’re doing is using our county parties and all our volunteers to get out and campaign for the ticket from the top all the way to the bottom. Because what can’t be lost here is, it’s so important to win school board races, Congressional races, county commission races, so that we don’t let Democrats get a foothold back in Florida. We want to win, and we want to send a strong message that Florida is not in play any longer. And we’re going to try to win every elected office we can and win the state by the biggest margin possible, and our grassroots at our county levels are being given the resources to go out and turn out every single Republican voter. We call it, All Republicans Vote, for the fact that we want every single Republican to go out and send a message to the left that Florida, we win, and we win big,” Power said.
