Florida congressman Charlie Crist expected to announce bid for governor next week

[In It to Win It]

5. Agreed! I don't think the party has been consistent

It seems the most effort we’ve made in quite some time was 2018. In 2018, it seems like we almost pulled out all the stops. We had decent candidates with gubernatorial candidate with good enthusiasm, and giant rallies. We came within a hairline fracture of winning.

It doesn’t seem like the party has expanded on that outreach. Big rallies, bringing out the big gun Barack Obama, having good candidates were all good. It almost worked. Now, continue with that and do more.

For the presidential race (if I recall correctly, that being the only statewide race in 2020), maybe they thought Biden had a other paths to 270 without Florida… which ultimately he did. However, that’s why the consistency wasn’t there but I hope to see that same enthusiasm we had in 2018 with a little more outreach.
