Perdue Says Florida Race Is ‘Cotton Pickin’ Important

During a rally for Florida gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis (R), Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue used the term “cotton-pickin” to describe the importance of Florida’s gubernatorial race, which also features Andrew Gillum (D), who is running to be the state’s first black governor, Politico reports.

Said Perdue: “Public policy matters. Leadership matters. And that is why this election is so cotton-pickin’ important to the state of Florida. I hope you all don’t mess it up.”
