John,
Florida’s unelected junior Senator Ashley Moody was hand-picked by Ron DeSantis as a “useful idiot” of sorts, someone who would pledge absolute, unquestioning loyalty to MAGA and to Trump’s divisive agenda.
And in her very short time in office, she has already made her mark: within months of her swearing in, Moody gleefully voted to cut health care for over 4.3 million Floridians.
But that is not the only crazy unpopular thing Moody has done since she was installed in the Senate. Moody also continues to support a dangerous abortion ban in Florida, something that a majority of the people oppose.
Now, Moody is pushing deep budget cuts that gut food banks, slash critical medical research, and threaten to shut down rural hospitals across the state—all because Trump told her to do it.
But blind loyalty to MAGA comes with its own risks. And Moody is playing a dangerous game: even conservative groups are sounding the alarm that voters don’t know her, don’t trust her, and they hate the policies she is pushing.
Donald Trump’s popularity is also slipping hugely in Florida: most notably, there has been a massive shift among Latino and Hispanic voters—an absolutely crucial voting demographic in FL—showing Trump’s support cratering, down from a net positive approval rating as recently as March to a current net -18 points underwater:
