As Florida Democrats profess optimism, polling shows voters favor Donald Trump and Rick Scott

Democratic Party leaders have been flooding the zone with optimistic outlooks, insisting they have a chance to produce some November surprises in Florida and arguing there’s no reason for their party to give up on the state.

On Thursday, the White House announced that President Joe Biden would travel soon to Tampa for what the Tampa Bay Times reported would be a campaign stop.

And former U.S. Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate said in a video news conference there is a potential for her party to do well because in her view the state is neither Republican red nor Democratic blue.

“Florida is a purple state,” Mucarsel-Powell said.
