What will Fried do Post November 8?
After losing her gubernatorial primary race against Rep. Charlie Crist, AG Commissioner Nikki Fried has not missed a beat and continues her campaign to defeat Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Fried is by far the biggest anti-DeSantis cheerleader in the state.
But what is next for Fried?
Once the election is over, what then?
Word on the street is that Fried could be looking at a TV gig and is not done with politics, leaving many of us politicos to speculate where she will run next.
Could we see a future congressional run for Fried? (My bet)
We can’t say for sure, but Fried’s future looks bright.
Stay tuned…
