In the last year, Democrats have flipped a Jacksonville mayoral seat, closed a Trump +17 gap to just 6 points in a Miami-Dade district, gathered enough signatures for an abortion ballot measure, and flipped a battleground state House seat. Tell me again FL Dems aren't motivated.

The Virginia primary is a test for Democrats on an issue that proved to be highly effective for the party in the 2022 midterm elections. An Aird victory would, in addition, make it clear that Democrats are united in support of abortion rights.
