The Sunshine State has long been considered Biden Country, but now a Florida Democratic state senator is bolting from Joe Biden’s campaign to support Michael Bloomberg
A Florida Democratic state senator is bolting Joe Biden’s campaign to support Michael Bloomberg, the first signs of defection in the Sunshine State, which has long been considered Biden Country.
“My concern is more with the Democratic Party imploding before we even get a nominee. But yes, I currently have my reservations about the Biden campaign moving forward and I have been increasingly open to supporting Mike Bloomberg in Florida,” he said in a text message.After a lackluster performance in Iowa and poor polling in New Hampshire, Biden’s campaign is stumbling. But he continued to be perceived as the frontrunner in Florida, which will award a massive haul of 219 pledged delegates.
Bloomberg’s blitz in Florida and Biden’s fall nationally and in the first two early states are unfolding just as vote-by-mail absentee ballots have been sent out ahead of the March 17 primary. Absentee voting could account for more than half of all votes cast before Election Day. Elizabeth Warren has a long-standing Florida volunteer network and a handful of field offices and staff, and Bernie Sanders recently hired a Florida state director. But Bloomberg’s footprint is by far the biggest to date.
