It’s your duty as an American to vote, as ratified by the 14th, 15th, 19th, 25th and 26th amendments to the Constitution. These rights are guaranteed by FIVE Constitutional guarantees. Do your part in our democracy, no matter if you vote red or blue. JUST VOTE!

Yesterday, hundreds of us got to hear much of this in-person in Sarasota. I ask that you just take a moment to listen to @davidjollyfl and his closing message. It’s not the divisive, name-calling, fear-laden messaging repetitively shouted by Donalds to scare you into begrudgingly voting for him. David’s message one of hope and promise. His message is, and has been, one of a unified Florida working together for a better future. Please, for all our communities and all our residents, get out on November 3 and vote for David Jolly and @GwenGraham as our next Florida Governor!
We'll never make America great again if we don't first make America good again. Two days. Let's go change the world!

Great summary. "Choosing David Jolly over Byron Donalds does not turn you into a Democrat. It makes you a Floridian who weighed the options and chose the best candidate. That's all." - @Vincinnatus
I voted for David Jolly. My principles survived the experience. I've written about why: constitutional checks, Florida’s resources, and the quaint expectation that a governor exercise his own judgment. The Conservative Case for David Jolly ↓

Great closing message!
Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

The Republican Party of Florida just disclosed its genera election donors. Florida Power & Light alone has put $7.75 million into the party since September. FPL is planning to announce a major data center project in Florida sometime before the end of the year...

Trump is trying his best to rub it in that Americans are struggling and at his hands to boot.
Incredible closing message from the President.
