Rep. Charlie Crist has emerged as the frontrunner in the Democratic primary to be Florida’s next governor — but faces huge obstacles in his attempt to unseat Ron DeSantis
has emerged as the frontrunner in the Democratic primary to be Florida’s next governor — but faces huge obstacles in his attempt to unseat Ron DeSantis.
But the question is which Democratic candidate — if any — can actually energize Democrats in a state where Republicans have erased a decades-old voter registration advantage, President Joe Biden’s approval rating is underwater and that Donald Trump won by 3 points in a state previously known for razor-thin margins.
Crist’s ascent comes as Fried, his main primary opponent, has begun restructuring her campaign. On Tuesday, her campaign announced that her chief of staff, Matthew Van Name, would be shifting from his job in state government to the position of senior adviser and strategic manager for the campaign. Van Name’s hiring comes in the aftermath of Fried’s campaign manager — Farah Melendez — departing after just six months on the job.
“Although politically active observers are following this, the average voter hasn’t paid much attention,” Coker said. “They don’t know Charlie Crist is in the race. They don’t know who Nikki Fried is.” Taddeo, who ran for lieutenant governor in 2014 as part of Crist’s ticket, said she was “not surprised or concerned” about Crist’s position right now or his polling numbers. She noted that Crist was running far ahead of Rubio before the Senate race he eventually lost.
