David Jolly Eyes Independent Run for Florida Governor

January 25, 2021 at 7:12 am EST By Taegan Goddard

Former Rep. David Jolly is “strongly considering” a run for Florida governor in 2022 as an independent, Axios reports.

Tampa Bay Times: “Since the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, what appears to be an unusual number of Republicans in the three biggest Tampa Bay area counties have switched parties, mostly to no party affiliation, but some becoming Democrats.”

“News reports in Florida and nationwide have noted a similar phenomenon elsewhere, with voters citing anger at President Donald Trump and his supporters.”

He was never onboard the Trump train and was a huge critic of the asshole from the very beginning.

He would give DeSantis a good run.

David Jolly seems a man who cares about this country and the state of Florida would be well served by him. He would also hsve the adking of the Lincoln Project. Theur ads would alone crush DeSantis as a Trump puppet.

I still don't understand why the Democratic Party can't get its act together in Florida. It's an awful pity what happened to Gillum.

But Jolly would be waaaay better than maybe Crist, but probably all the way back to Chiles.

As a former Republican, he might take votes away for DeathSentence and open the door to the Democratic nominee.
