Part 1:
We talk with Matthew Cooper, Executive Editor-Digital at the Washington Monthly
We discuss with Matthew the change in NJ's demographics, and how that affected voting patterns. We look forward to the election of a new governor in NJ as a result of the demographic shift.
Part 2:
We talk with Anders Croy, Communications Director at Florida Watch, and DeSantis Watch.
We discuss the election patterns in Florida, and how this will affect the nation as a whole. We can expect the 'floridification of the country." The climate crisis cannot be mentioned by order of DeSantis, but will affect the state anyway. Property insurance rates are five times the national average. Huge amounts of money were spent by utility companies, natural gas companies, other vested interests on this election in Florida. The Florida government spent $20 million to defeat progressive issue, including funds from the opioid settlement. It will likely take some time for voters to respond to the consequences of these votes. With Rubio leaving the Senate, DeSantis could appoint himself as Senator from Fla.
