The White House is planning a political rescue mission in Florida, fearing a wipeout in a key swing state next month that could damage President Donald Trump’s reelection hopes.
Trump is expected to visit the state at least twice, according to two people familiar with the plans. Visits from several Cabinet members are likely, as well.

Liberals getting desperate...
These people wish for a wipeout! Not going to happen.
Now that they’ve arrested the guy in Florida suspected of mailing pipe bombs to Democrats, look for the Dems to denounce any appearance in Florida by the President as “completely insensitive and inappropriate given the current climate of hate there.” They’ll accuse him of traveling there to stir up more animosity and encouraging additional acts of violence against Democrats.
Florida will be a Wipe In for Republicans.
Why would he fear that? Doesn’t seem to be a lot of reason to.
Fear mungering at politico?

Major fake title!

Desantis and Scott are both strongly in the lead.
The country is going to be filled with leftist tears on Nov 7.
Red Tsunami
Well if the Dems have it in the bag they can all stay home.
