As a Florida Democrat who got pulled out of state during the primaries on a work trip, I hadn’t even really heard the names Angie Nixon or David Jolly until I opened the sample ballot for the general election last Friday. Florida Democratic party must not have put in much effort to campaign. I don’t recall seeing even a single sign on a street corner for those races.
That said, despite DeSantis’ redistricting efforts, the needle didn’t budge for the house.
Meanwhile Texas (who started the whole redistricting clusterfuck) lost a house seat and a whole lot more. I didn’t even realize Abbott was up for reelection this year until he had already lost.
