Ron DeSantis will be the big winner.
Florida Politics asked the stateâs top consultants, lobbyists and political minds who stands to have the best Legislative Session and 43% picked the Governor. His believers include more than half of Republican Influencers, with just 27% of Democrats saying heâs their early favorite.
For the minority party, that honor goes to Senate President
Wilton Simpson, albeit by a narrow margin. Three in 10 Democrats say heâll be the clear winner when the hankie drops. More than half of independents believe the same while just 21% of Republicans agree.
