FL-GOV 2022: Gillum probably seeking rematch

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Rashurn Baker should run in MD, if Dems run a candidate, run someone wlse

[Saint Milei]

Dem prez: DeSantis +9
Trump reelected: DeSantis +4

Dems might be locked out from FL Gov Mansion up until 2030 or beyond, because 2026 is most likely a Dem midterm regardless of how 2020 goes. TX-Gov could flip earlier. GA certainly will.

TX-GOV flipping is not happening

TX-GOV flipping is not happening

Not in 2022, but 2026 or later. I wouldn't be surprised if Dems manage to elect a gov in TX before FL.

Only if Abbott retires and Julian Castro runs for Gov

[Ilhan Apologist]

I mean, he'd still be a better candidate than the sacrificial lamb the FloriDems would run otherwise (since nobody else would want to challenge DeSantis).

[Mr. Smith]

He'd be better off taking on Rubio.

George P. Bush will be the next governor

[BuckeyeNut]

Lol, good luck with this buddy. He probably won't even win the nomination and if so, lose to DeSantis regardless of who the sitting president is.

Stacey Abrams has a much better chance to win a rematch from 2018 and knock off Cheatin' Brian.

Nah, as somebody on the ground, I'm very confident in telling you that he'll definitely win the nomination; the base is much more pro-Gillum at this point than it was last August & it also looks like Graham will be going after Rubio this time around instead of running for Governor again. I'm also just as confident that DeSantis will beat him again, & much more easily the 2nd time around too.

This sounds like a good dynamic, but unless Trump wins re-elect or the Democrat who beats him is insanely popular, I am not sure it will matter...

[Podgy the Bear]

Gillum is a loser and a 2022 rematch would be like Deukmejian-Bradley 1986 (if not worse).

[Fuzzy Says: "Abolish NPR!"]

Something like this.

The negative publicity Gillum is receiving regarding his conduct as Tallahasse Mayor isn't going to help him.  The only way Gillum will be the nominee is if DeSantis is so popular that other A-list candidates.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Don’t think Gillum would lose by more than 23 points . I see him losing by 9-10 but not anywhere near close to doing worse than Bradley

[President Johnson]

Yes, this reminds me of Bradley as well, though he won't lose as badly as the former did in 1986.

That depends entirely on whether Abbot runs for a third term or not.

If Abbot retires and Trump is president it'll probably be competitive, otherwise almost certainly not.

[Progressive Pessimist]

If he wants to lose by even more this time that's his prerogative. You'd think he would let someone else be the sacrificial lamb though. Wayne Messam perhaps?

Nah, Messam's gaming to replace Hastings in the House.

That would actually be a good move.

Yeah, I'm convinced setting up name recognition & fundraising for a congressional run is the only legitimate reason he's running for President.

[Person Man]

Gillum really should try Congress if he's not heading to jail. However with how deep the swamp or in Florida's case the "ski slopes" are, he might just be someone who got in the way and is getting framed.

Ugh, I though this FBI investigation into his mayoral office was just a minor thing? If worse, he shouldn't run for anything.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

This is why he was talked out of running for president.  Now, he wants to run for Gov

Has any politician who lost an election and then attempted a rematch against the same person for the same office ever actually succeeded?

Jeanne Shaheen lost NH-SEN in 2002 against Sununu and then came back and won it in 2008.

Jeanne Shaheen, John Durkin, Jay Rockefeller to name a few.
