'Florida is in play,' Democratic Party chairman Jaime Harrison said.
Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, former Representative and US Democratic Senate candidate for Florida, speaks during the kickoff of the Harris-Walz campaign reproductive rights bus tour in Boynton Beach, Fla., Sept. 3, 2024.Now, they're putting their money where their mouth is.
"lorida is in play," DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison said in a statement. "With Vice President Harris at the helm and record-breaking investments in the Florida coordinated campaign, we have the momentum to finish strong and deliver wins for Democrats up and down the ballot." Democrats in Washington had long insisted to the media that Florida and Texas were still competitive for president and Senate, though Democrats have been burned in each state before.
"Now are not cheap states. They're big states, but the investment is something that we're very excited about," Michigan's Peters said Thursday at the National Press Club. "We have an opportunity with fundraising and money coming in that we feel comfortable now these are good investments. We're making multimillion dollar investments in Florida and Texas, and with that, we have a real shot at winning those states.
"In case anyone has any doubt, if national Democrats decide to spend in Florida, Rick Scott will spend more. Chuck Schumer has been through this before. If he wants to sacrifice Bob Casey and Sherrod Brown on a doomed Florida strategy, he’s welcome to try," said one source close to Scott, referencing Democratic senators in tough reelection fights in Pennsylvania and Ohio, respectively.
