Congress

The Floridian is a state-centric media platform that covers the U.S. Congress, specifically races throughout Florida.
Hurricane Ian is blowing its way to Florida, expecting to make landfall this mid-to-late this week. Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has already declared a state of emergency for all 67 Counties and called for the deployment of 2,500 National Guard. Monday morning, Gov. DeSantis tweeted a reminder to Floridians to have proper preparation and supplies […]
The Hispanic and Latino community is becoming a contentious voting demographic in the 2022 midterms. Thursday, Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL-27) tweeted that "Hispanics are law-abiding, God-fearing, hardworking people" who are "rejecting the extremist, socialist policies of the radical Democrats." I was born and raised in Miami — the daughter of Cuban political refugees. Hispanics […]
With just under two months until voters head to the polls, retiring Rep. Stephanie Murphy's (D) will not be facing the Republican congressional nominee Cory Mills . Instead, the self-described moderate Rep. Murphy has endorsed the ultra-progressive Karen Green, who announced the endorsement Thursday morning in a tweet. ENDORSED!"I’m proud to endorse Karen Green and […]
Progressive Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI-13) recently spoke at an event saying "that you cannot claim to hold progressive values yet back Israel’s apartheid government." Rep.

The long-running feud between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) and California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) has just become a little more interesting. As we covered, Gov. DeSantis' relocation of 50 illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard earned strong criticism from Newsom. DeSantis shrugged it off saying Newsom's hair gel is "interfering with his brain function." In […]
New details surrounding Gov. DeSantis' moving of 50 illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard continue to emerge. Democrats nationwide furiously allege DeSantis engaged in "human trafficking" and "kidnapping" of these migrants, and, as we reported earlier, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) sought to press charges against the Florida Governor. The DeSantis administration denies these accusations and has […]

Rep. Cammack points out […]
It has been confirmed that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) flew approximately 50 illegal immigrants arriving in Texas further north to Martha's Vineyard. Reason for this is to force Democrats to live up to their "sanctuary state" promise, which Gov.DeSantis says is the cause for record illegal border crossings. Naturally, Democrats are angry. Florida House Rep. […]
The gubernatorial campaign of Charlie Crist (D) cannot seem to help itself from engaging in gaffes and alienating rhetoric. Crist recently compared himself to Jesus and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) to Satan, but Crist's running mate Karla Hernandez-Mats may have just topped him. DeSantis War Room posted a clip Wednesday morning where Hernandez-Mats is speaking […]
Although Vice President Harris insists the southern border is secure, it is clear that she could not be further from the truth. Wednesday afternoon, Rep Carlos A. Gimenez (R-FL-26) tweeted a short video offering his take on the border crisis. He says that "Democrats claim migrants are crossing because of climate change." Gimenez calls this […]
The Biden administration has renewed the controversial Iran nuclear deal. Predictably, the Islamic Republic has nothing but aggressive intentions in its newfound nuclear capabilities. Rep.

However, Taddeo's LanguageSpeak, Inc., a business which provides translation services for other businesses, has a client […]
As Americans continue to struggle with inflation and tax increases, the woke agenda marches on. In June, it was reported that the Tampa Bay Rays had donated $20,000 to the city's Metro Inclusive Health (MIH). The facility provides "gender-affirming" care for transgender individuals, including puberty blockers for minors. Thursday, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) wrote to […]
In August, the Biden Administration announced the absolution of large amounts of student loan debt. Republicans have been quick to condemn the already heavy tax burden this will pile on to working-class Americans. So what might be the motive for Biden to do this? Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL-17) spoke with Fox News' Evening Edit Wednesday […]
The effects of President Biden's open border policy have long been a concern among Americans. Human and drug trafficking, especially fentanyl, claim and destroy many lives.

The Floridian recently covered Rep. Val Demings' (D) labeling of Marco Rubio (R) an "extremist" for his hardline pro-life stance. Sen. Rubio has stated support for legislation that offered exceptions to abortion in cases of rape and incest, while Demings has consistently voted against the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. In this clash of […]
The inflammatory rhetoric of President Biden's Thursday night speech in Philadelphia continues to evoke reactions. As The Floridian covered, few Democrats spoke of the speech, at most simply echoing the term "MAGA Republicans" Biden used throughout the address. Republicans, on the other hand, were understandably angry. On Sunday, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL-19) tweeted that the […]
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) gave a speech in Fort Lauderdale to 100 pastors and faith leaders this week about the threat that Marxism poses to the American way of life.
