FL Democrats insist: 'Florida continues to be a battleground'
Florida Democrats asserted a claim for political relevance Wednesday, one day after President Joe Biden made his first campaign stop in this former swing state that increasingly has been moving toward Republicans.
Led by Florida Democratic Party chair Nikki Fried, Democrats with seats in Congress, the Florida Legislature, and local government insisted the ground is shifting in their direction.
Especially on abortion rights, which will be up to the voters in November via the proposed Amendment 4 to the Florida Constitution. The measure would block government interference with access to the procedure before fetal viability, overriding a law banning the procedure before six weeks’ gestation with almost no exceptions, which takes effect May 1.
“Florida continues to be a battleground,” Fried insisted during a Zoom conference with reporters, saying Amendment 4 could draw swing voters who might be more inclined to vote for Biden and other Democrats.
