FL-SEN: Maxwell Frost, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell say Villages golf cart caravan translates into Dem momentum

Could an election victory in the Sunshine State be driven by senior citizens in vehicles that aren’t exactly street legal?

That’s the case ebullient Democrats are making in the wake of a golf cart rally in The Villages, as the latest sign that a once reliably Republican sinecure is slipping from the GOP grasp and feeling, as Miles Davis might have put it, kind of blue.

“I appeal to everybody: democracy is not something we can agree to disagree on — it’s something we have to fight for,” U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost said. “This race is about more than just two names on a ballot, it’s about a vision for this country, and it’s about true freedom. Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats up and down the ballot are committed to delivering that freedom to each and every Floridian.”

Democratic Senate candidate Debbie Mucarsel-Powell also chimed in, saying seniors could help flip the state for Harris as well as aid Democrats in picking up a Senate seat.

“When I say don’t mess with my people, I’m talking about the families that have been devastated by two catastrophic storms after Rick Scott voted against FEMA funding, and he and Donald Trump have been spreading lies confusing those left behind,” Mucarsel-Powell said.
