Crist to DeSantis Supporters: ‘I Don’t Want Your Vote . . . You Have That Hate in Your Heart’

Polls show that a majority of Florida voters approve of the job that Ron DeSantis has done as governor, so it’s quite odd to see Democratic gubernatorial nominee Charlie Crist deploying this message the day after winning his party’s nomination:

A Florida Chamber of Commerce poll pegs DeSantis’s approval rating at 54 percent. The latest poll from the University of North Florida shows 50 percent of Florida voters approve of DeSantis, while 41 percent disapprove. The same poll found that 38 percent of Florida voters approve of Joe Biden’s job performance, while 59 percent disapprove.

In a separate interview on Wednesday, Crist told CNN that Joe Biden has been a “phenomenal” president. “He’s the best I’ve ever met,” Crist said, adding that he wants Biden to campaign for him in Florida.
