“Florida Democrats are used to being wooed by presidential candidates hungry for endorsements and local fundraising early in primary season. This year, the love is late in coming,” Politico reports.
“The state and its 219 party delegates have long enjoyed a front-row seat to electoral brawls. The 2020 election calendar, however, has dimmed the spotlight on the state’s celebrity after the Legislature, under pressure from national leaders of both parties, adopted a March 17 primary. By the time that date rolls around, 25 states and four U.S. territories already will have voted and nearly half the Democratic Party’s 4,051 delegates will be spoken for.”
