Last Tuesday, Democrats and Republicans nominated their candidates for Florida's 27th congressional district. Rs narrowly cast more votes than Ds in their primary contest--in true Florida fashion. Incumbent Maria Elvira Salazar will face off against Annette Taddeo this November.

As y’all know, Dems’ poor performance in Miami-Dade County in 2020 proved devastating to their chances of winning Florida. IMO the best way to see change is to work within the system. In that spirit, last week I became a Miami-Dade Dems committeeman for part of Miami Beach.

However, in the exurbs, some disaffected voters voted for Biden (to prevent Trump from getting a second term), but didn’t necessarily want to go so far as to vote D (although they didn’t vote R either!). These voters are winnable, and the Ossoff and Warnock campaigns know it.
