Actually, as a Florida resident, I'd love to see the Republicans nominate him; even in Florida, he'd lose in '26(the paedophilia \drug addicted \frat boy thing is not attractive for the old farts who live here)I am one so I can say it🙃
Gaetz would probably be the most liable Republican Senate Candidate the GOP has had for years. He also has no appeal in Miami-Dade and would likely not win over independent and swing voters.
The important thing is that Democrats have a Senate candidate who is going to run and who has an ability to win over independent and crossover voters.
I'd like to believe this, but I thought Rick Scott was toxic the 1st time he ran for Governor (huge Medicare fraudster in a state with alot of elders). He's now been elected 4 times statewide.
I guess this election has just made me cynical about who the voters won't accept.
Of course, but then you'd have to posit that voters are more repulsed by sex crimes than financial ones, and then you have to remember who is going to be sworn in on Jan. 20th.
I'd like to believe that, but didn't he just win re-election? My point is that voters have a tolerance for scumbags that is beyond what I, an Illinois voter, could have ever imagined. Apparently it has to do with the price of eggs. As bad as the accusations against Gaetz are, I think that if he ran a campaign that targeted liberals and wokeism and immigrants, he could win a statewide race in
FL, even against a moderate Democrat with no scandals in their past.
disagree but the Democratic candidate would be the key; Mayor of Jacksonville or Tampa would be the best choice against Gates imo(but honestly I don't think Gaetz ever gets a statewide nomination especially if he runs against Casey DeSantis, who's much more popular than her idiot husband)
FL-01: Gaetz confirms what his wife and others implied, and won't return to Congress next year.

Good. That probably precludes him getting FL-Sen, too.
Hopefully Florida voters don’t buy what he’s selling and elect him their governor
Lol he just has to win a republican primary and they'll but it easily
I imagine that it’ll be a packed primary, and his geographic base isn’t the best. But I’d imagine him the frontrunner unless proven otherwise
The primary could be interesting if Trump endorses one candidate and DeSantis another.
Gaetz won't get DeSantis and I am not sure even Trump would endorse him for statewide (unless the alternative was a nontrumper)

Rick Scott is nothing like Gaetz

Trump is nothing like Gates either; Gaetz is in an entirely different class of scumbag

The special primary for this seat will be on January 28 and the special election on April 1. (April Fool’s Day. Rather symbolic, no?)
