He’s the governor of Florida, elected as a Republican, decided to run for U.S. Senate, went out to early lead with explicit backing of national Republican party, but was challenged by a conservative ( Former Speaker of FL house? I don’t know I’m not from FL)Marco Rubio who is an articulate candidate. Since he was going to lose the Republican primary, Crist decided to run as an independent. Initially that put him into the lead in a 3-way race, but more recently, he’s fallen behind Rubio, but November is a long way off.
If the Pubbies backed him in his run you know he is going to be a RINO. Think I’ll cheer on Rubio instead.
That is correct, Rubio was Speaker.
