,1,This week in politics…We are down to the wire with less than 5 days until the midterm election. At the top of the ticket in Florida is the race for governor, incumbent Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis vs. Democratic challenger Charlie Crist.
President Joe Biden was here in the Sunshine State this week to campaign for Crist and Democratic Senate Candidate Val Demings, but even with the midterms just days away some folks are already thinking ahead to 2024.
See another president is coming to Florida, former President Donald Trump will be in Miami-Dade Sunday to campaign for Republican Senator Marco Rubio. Someone who won’t be there? Governor Ron DeSantis who’s holding separate campaign events on the Gulf Coast. Interesting.
The dueling events are fueling the flames of talks of a budding rivalry between the two and a potential 2024 matchup, as GOP voters have signaled them as the top choices for the Republican presidential nominee in 2 years.
