“Two points is striking distance — don’t count Florida out,” says FDP Chair Nikki Fried

On Aug 14th, Florida Atlantic University released a poll showing Kamala Harris within two points of Donald Trump among likely voters in the November elections. In response, the Florida Democratic Party has released the following statement:

“Donald Trump and Rick Scott are in trouble in Florida,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried. “Kamala Harris has generated an unprecedented level of enthusiasm and excitement on the ground in Florida, and these poll results prove that. Since their last poll in April, Trump has gained no ground with Florida voters — because Democrats, NPAs, and moderate Republicans aren’t buying the extreme Project 2025 agenda he, Rick Scott, and Florida Republicans are selling.

“Meanwhile, the Harris-Walz ticket is packing arenas across the country and inspiring tens of thousands of Floridians to volunteer with the Democratic Party for the first time — over 21,000 new volunteers have signed up in Florida since Harris launched her campaign. We’re plugging those people into phone banks and canvasses from Pensacola to Key West every day to elect Democrats up and down the ballot.

“The Florida Democratic Party is fired up and ready to shock the country this November. Two points is striking distance — don’t count Florida out.”
