A Florida area known for being a “hotbed of Trump support” is reportedly seeing a bump in enthusiasm for Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday.

As Trump and Harris gear up to face one another in November’s election, each candidate has made an effort to make inroads on the territories typically known for supporting their opponent. Over the weekend, Harris had some success in Florida, according to onlookers.

“The villages in Florida, typically dominated by MAGA extremists, have been completely taken over by Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign,” the account wrote Saturday. “This is a remarkable turnaround.”

    Do people from FL like DeSantis? Cause Trump has mocked him.

    I also have been under the impression that there are quite a large number of people in FL who are seeing the effects of climate change, and so I wonder if environmental policy is something that is beginning to matter more to them now. Environmental policy has been a slowly growing factor for small sets of conservative voters, so I wonder they have seen that push if in the few days of Kamala’s campaign.

    I was going to make another guess that maybe FL is having younger voters. But nope, watching the video on the original website (wouldn’t appear on the archive), it was pretty clear to see that it was all 50+ Floridians with their golf carts.

      Hello, born and raised in Florida, lived here my whole life, still living here now (life long registered democrat, never voted republican)

      Do people from FL like DeSantis?

      The Maga’s love him because of his racism and gay bashing, outside of the Maga’s most people cannot stand him, many non-maga replicans too.

      impression that there are quite a large number of people in FL who are seeing the effects of climate change, I wonder if environmental policy is something that is beginning to matter

      True most people are noticing effects of climate change but most republicans here, including non-maga are still in denial, I do not believe it affects voting at all in any major way… yet, I believe after a few catastrophic hurricanes votes will start to change.

      I do not believe this article at all, I know many people who live in the villages (from work, family, friends, marriages etc…) and finding any number of people who would/do support Kamala is in the unicorn numbers and to openly admit it would lead to banishment.

      There are a lot of Democrats in Florida, DeSantis barely won and i’m sure cheating was involved, but this state is red and seriously gerrymandered now and the corruption is at gangster level, it would take a world changing event for this state to ever be won by a Democrat President anytime in the long future.

      Not all republicans are bad and not all republicans are maga, there are a lot of kind-hearted level headed people here but currently the maga’s are in charge
