🚨Republicans nationwide are freaking out after Dem gains in Florida and beyond Senior Republicans think they're close to hitting a point where the House will be out of reach, with key losses in the Sunshine State piling up. The only question now is how many seats they lose the majority by at this point. Senate Republicans believe it's very likely they lose their majority too. more here > politico.com/storyline/live/… via @politico

DeSantis has leeway to be blunt bc he's not up for reelection, but this interview is hitting a lot of what I hear from voters about their frustrations: leans heavily into anti-corporatism, specific policy ideas on AI and data centers, gas price concerns, how to frame Dems.
I sat down with Florida Governor @RonDeSantis, and we covered A LOT of ground! From the 2026 Midterms to Black history, Big Tech, the controversies surrounding his leadership, and what’s NEXT for him politically. You’ll want to hear what he had to say! Watch the FULL interview on YouTube NOW! bit.ly/3Wnucem
