Kamala Harris has Democrats optimistic about key Southern state: 'Don’t sleep on Florida'

When President Joe Biden slipped in the polls after his disastrous debate, several states seemed to be falling out of reach for Democrats, but with Vice President Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket, some Democrats are feeling sunny about their chances in some non-battleground states.

Florida has steadily headed toward Republicans in recent years, but a ballot measure regarding abortion in November had made Democrats hopeful for an upset in the Sunshine State in the presidential race. But after Biden’s poor debate showing, it appeared to slip out of reach. With Harris’s ascension apparently uniting the Democratic Party, some are once again dreaming of a Florida upset.
