I live in Florida and can’t even remember any of this…

That being said, FL does allow marijuana with a card now—though that wouldn’t have helped him in GA. The crystal meth, though? Yeah… I hate to say we dodged a bullet because we’ve been stuck with DeathSantis all this time, but… again, Jeez.

Ever since that defeat in 2018 the party hasn’t really recovered in that state. Trump carried it another two times by wider margins and Desantis won his reelection in a blowout.

I was planning to vote for Gwen Graham, but I heard Andrew speak and he blew me away. It turned out that he had some really serious personal issues that the public did not know about at the time - we really thought that he was going to be the next big thing. So sad how his life turned out.

Because he was running against DeSantis.

However, there were a lot of red flags that he was a potential Florida's Salwell/Platner.
