Wish her luck but she’s going to lose. I still don’t get why the Democrats don’t put up candidates that can appeal to the demographics needed to win certain states. Every state wide candidate in Florida should be a Hispanic person because that’s the demographic that the Democrats need to pull to move the needle. Identify politics works, just ask Republicans who ran unqualified celebrity candidates that matched the demographics of their districts and won.
There's not a lot to choose from. The most prominent Hispanics in politics seem to be Cuban American republicans. They just call democrats "socialists" and that works for them. The democrats have to groom some Cubans. An Hispanic non-Cuban is not appealing to Cubans. Many think they're better than recent poor immigrants.
Then get a celebrity candidate then. Cubans make a huge portion of the Florida vote but they aren’t the only Hispanic demographic that can sway an election in Florida. Democrats need to stop thinking of Florida as a purple state. It’s a Red state with a bunch of old white retirees and Cubans that will never vote for a black person. Hell lily white Biden couldn’t even make it close.
Trust me Florida is full of idiots that love a politician like Desantis. They embrace the stupidity recklessness. Democrats aren’t going to win Florida by being reasonable and explaining how their policies have helped the state. You need to create excitement and carve out a Demographic. I’d say the same thing for Texas and Arizona too. If you aren’t running a Hispanic candidate, you’re playing to not lose. I don’t know why Democrats continue to fail again and again in Red states and not try something new. Republicans have absolutely figured this out, policy doesn’t matter it’s about connecting to voters to turn them out.
