Conan O’Brien Bashes Ron DeSantis With Trump-Themed Gag

But things changed when the primaries threw up two unexpected candidates.

The poll finds Gillum starting out with a fairly warm reception from those surveyed, and DeSantis, not so much. “She seems like she’d be the most upfront, the most forward”.

The three-term congressman, who makes frequent Fox News appearances, is known as an immigration hard-liner in a state where Hispanic voters hold a large sway.

“In the governor’s race, there is massive gender gap with Gillum leading among women by 21 and DeSantis leading among men by 13”, Ulvert noted.

This group of pastors agree and is asking the Republican nominee for governor to apologize to the people of Florida and his opponent. Is socialism really that popular?

So, could Gillum pull it off?

But he pulled off an upset with an unapologetically liberal agenda and grassroots campaign in a battleground state, where Democrats have been shut out of the governor’s office for two decades. Rep. Kyrsten Sinema is expected to easily win the Democratic primary on Tuesday. And there’s plenty of that narrative in the gubernatorial, Senate and House primaries in Arizona, Florida and Oklahoma on Tuesday: For another week, Trump is in our winner’s column.

Gillum, the Bernie Sanders-endorsed Democrat, supports socialist policies like single-payer “Medicare for All” health care and higher taxes.

Cindy McCain reportedly does not see herself as a political person, and uses her time to run family businesses.

With just a handful of precincts left to count, Republicans cast more than 1.6 million Florida ballots, while registered Democrats were on track to fall just below 1.5 million. There were also new signs of diversity on the Democratic side.

“With one tweet, that kind of put me on the map”, DeSantis said. The progressives were right, but the party still hasn’t seemed to learn lessons from it. But it could be if there’s a blue wave this November. Progressive billionaires Steyer and George Soros invested heavily in Gillum’s primary campaign as well. “He can uniquely motivate the base to get that enthusiasm up”, McSally said, noting that Democrats are already energized. “Republicans are used to winning, so now we want a good one”. No time for any of that idealistic “revolution” nonsense, they say. “When they start doing that, then that will be real support for me”.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis has to pick a running mate by next week.

Liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans loyal to Donald Trump scored victories in nominating contests for Florida and Arizona, giving momentum to the insurgent wings of America’s two main parties ahead of November elections.

Because we’re not just talking about any old Trump supporter here.

With DeSantis being white and Gillum being black, the comment was immediately seen as racist.

The DeSantis campaign clarified that his comments were directed at Gillum’s policies, not the candidate himself.

Gillum also downplayed an ongoing FBI investigation into possible corruption at Tallahassee City Hall that has not implicated him.

Though Gillum does not appear to be directly implicated so far, it is no doubt something that DeSantis’ campaign will highlight in the run up to November.

“DeSantis can do the bidding of big business and big lobbyists and Donald Trump and his divisive rhetoric”. Here are the winners and losers from some of the most consequential primaries of the year.

Morrisey will make the case that the Hillary Clinton-supporting Manchin clearly no longer represents the interests of West Virginia, a state whose citizens adore President Trump and rewarded him accordingly with an astonishing 42-point margin of victory in 2016.
