What recent polling indicates about Trump's support in Florida?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are getting a rude awakening in Florida and they're looking at the midterms coming up and ain't looking good for Trump and MAGA. Some of the latest polling has Trump's approval in Florida at net negative. 7.5%. And that's been decreasing by the day. You have the MAGA Republican governor out there, Ron DeSantis, commenting about the Texas special elections, including the most recent one for state Senate district number nine, where the Democrat overperformed by plus 31 points and won in a plus 17 Trump district by a plus 14 margin against a Trump endorsed candidate named Lee Wham Gans. Taylor Remmitt went on to win that race. And Ron DeSantis Special elections are quirky and not necessarily projectable regarding a general election.

That said, a swing of this magnitude is not something that can be dismissed. Republicans should be clear-eyed about the political environment. heading into the midterms. And day by day, DeSantis is throwing the Trump regime under the bus even more. That's a story to keep on following. And I saw he came out against data centers and a lot of the AI initiatives of the Trump regime recently as well. You take a look recently, there was that Miami mayor's race as well. And you had Eileen Higgins becoming the first Democrat elected the mayor of Miami. in nearly 30 years when donald trump the same way he endorsed that mega candidate in texas he endorsed uh the mayoral republican candidate gonzalez in miami who suffered a massive loss there you know and that brings us really to florida's 27th congressional district right here where you have a big race coming up you have this mega republican candidate maria salazar her

How are special elections affecting Republican strategies in Florida?

Ben Meiselas 2:19
He's not going after people who have been here for a long time. He's only going after criminals. So the day after the presidential election back on, this is by the way, what she's been saying, she's been MAGA through and through. And so I'll just give you one clip for example, the day after the presidential election, when she was interviewed by PBS, she said, I promise you, everybody, Donald Trump is supporting my dignity act. It's called the Dignity Act because if you've been here and you're hardworking and you're an immigrant, you have nothing to worry about at all. You're good. It's only the violent criminals. Trump told me, he promised me we're going to get this act passed. Even if we don't get the act passed, he supports it.

Richard Lamondin 3:06
I am sure that we're not, that the Trump administration is not gonna be targeting those people who have been here for more than five years, that have American kids, that don't have criminal records, that have been working in the economy and paying taxes. I am sure that they're gonna hone in on the criminals who arrived less than four years ago. Because I wrote the Dignity Act and I am the first one who understands that you have to give some type of dignity to those who have been here for more than five years. People who have roots in the country, not people who are coming to commit crimes.
Unknown 3:37
If I can just clarify from you, have you received those kinds of details from anyone in a potential Trump administration? Because so far what we've heard is proposal for mass deportations. We have about 30 seconds left. Have you gotten those assurances?
Richard Lamondin 3:50
Mass deportation. to those who are committing crimes who have been here for less than five years you understand that you have millions of undocumented who are contributing with the economy and are helping our country to be a better one checking in on the trump administration you support what she just said she said that she spoke to trump you read the legislation you're with it
