As recently as June 24, #Biden campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon said she thought #Florida wasn't a battleground state. Dillon is now the #Harris campaign chair.
Florida has a reproductive rights initiative on the November ballot, which should juice the state turnout. But if the campaign chair think it's not worth it, then the opportunity is lost.
So far #Harris hasn't announced any Florida rallies in upcoming days, only in "battleground" states.(2/2)

She should definitely come here. I think Florida is in play, I don't believe for a second that we are solidly republican
@Idissent I think it's more that the state Democratic party has done a very poor job of organization, registration, and turnout. The potential is here.
The local party (Brevard County) has been more active in recent months, but this county is so overwhelmingly #Trump I don't know how much they can do. After all, we're the home of the Moms for Liberty founders. But any votes they can flip for state or federal will help.

Yeah, Florida is bat shit crazy and I really think they have done themselves a huge disservice by not putting more effort into it. Here in Indian River county we are most definitely purple
