83 Florida Session, Divisive Politics, and Future Elections
We're back! After a slightly longer hiatus than expected Ernest, Becca, and Chris come together in person for the first time in over a year for a "just three of us" edition of Dishonorable Mention.*
0:12: We open with Governor Desantis requesting former President Trump to not start a rally in Sarasota so close to the tragedy of Surfside. Thoughts? Is Desantis taking the lead over Trump as the 2024 Republican favorite?
18:22: For Ron DeSantis to make a run at president, does he need to win re-election in 2022? We also discuss Twitter bottle rockets and this year’s session.
27:03: Why did things get so divisive politically? Does a Democratic nominee have any chance of beating Ron DeSantis for Governor? Plus, other important future elections.
37:28: We dust off the old Florida Man Story machine and wrap-up with shout-outs.
*-We didn't have our normal studio gear so the audio isn't perfect, but we couldn't say no to a chance at recording!
