Head-on for the first time, obviously, but really got a chance to listen to them and make their arguments in full, in a rare opportunity. but remember, this is florida, its an increasingly conservative state. the margin in this race is tighter than many people suspected. the real clear politics average polling shows about a 5% margin, which is tighter than what you see at the gubernatorial level, so democrats feel that they may have some opportunity here, but they know the reality in florida, de...

Larger issue thats more mystifying to many people than the reality of what you pay at the grocery store and the gas station. and that is, how many republican candidates are running for office denying the fact, the fact of the 2020 election victory of joseph r. biden? how do you explain that? >> well, let me put it to you this way. one of the things that im finding that is so interesting in the focus groups and that i think is going to be a defining feature of 2022 is how many of these swing vote...
