Crist Surges Ahead?
Former Republican Governor and Rep. Charlie Crist is the Democratic gubernatorial frontrunner right now, and it appears as if the political winds are at his back and could have him on a collision course with Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried was perceived to be on the path to victory over Senator Annette Taddeo and Rep. Crist, but over the past several months, the constant attacks against DeSantis have been backed up by nothing more than more attacks.
Crist has attacked DeSantis but has also offered substantive policies that Democrats can chew on. Fried has not.
“I’ll say it as many times as I need to: DeSantis is a threat and a traitor to our Democracy.”- Rep. Charlie Crist
Polls will come out showing that Crist is leading Fried and Taddeo, but even though he may have more cash in the bank, Fried has enough money to make the gubernatorial primary interesting, and could actually defeat Crist.
But for that to happen, something has got to give with Fried.
Whoever wins the Democratic nomination will have one enormous mountain to climb in the general election against DeSantis.
Crist, Taddeo, or Fried will hobble into the general with some cash to defeat DeSantis and his $100 million+ reelection campaign.
Game. Set. Match?
