On Fox News, “Countdown to the Midterms”, as part of “Fox and Friends”, Fox News Hosts Dan Bongino and Steve Doocy, broadcast live from Hope Sound, Florida.
The regular hosts of Fox and Friends, opening with the fact that Republicans are already leading Democrats, in early voting, by 345,000 votes, in the state of Florida. They go on to discuss how historically unusual this phenomenon is. At the end of their opening comments, they hand the broadcast off to Bongino and Doocy live, at “Harry and The Natives”, in Hope Sound Florida.
With a sizable cheering crowd behind them, supporting their conversations on voting early, versus on election day, Dan Bongino, emphatically makes the declaration that, Florida is no longer a swing state, “it's blood red!”
With the help of Steve Doocy, they go on to discuss the state’s transformation from “purple” to “red” as they described it, crediting average Florida citizens for getting involved in preserving their freedoms, joining school boards and working behind the scenes to make Florida a more freedom focused state. Floridians, they go on to say, don’t want to be told what to do!
With an electrified crowd as a backdrop, both also credit Florida’s citizenry with electing Ron DeSantis, who has secured their voting rights since the last election, fought to keep schools open, worked against COVID mandates, dealt with illegal migrants and worked to preserve their freedoms, against the oppressions foisted upon them by the woke-leftist establishment in the current administration.
Both Doocy and Bongino are residents of the state of Florida, and exude what could be called “Florida Red Pride”. This session is a real shot in the arm for the weary conservative, who thinks his time, vote and political stand don’t count. This is Democracy at work – in the trenches – just as our founding fathers planned it. Three cheers for Florida!
