Crist did not mention his fellow Democrats that may join in the 2022 election. Instead, he took aim at DeSantis and the Republican party as unfeeling towards the community and out of touch with constituents' concerns. "These elections are about people, and I'm running against a guy who I don't think cares much about people," Crist said. "I think he cares more about his political future than he does about people." He also said that the current administration "denies, delays and divides," citing DeSantis' choice to sign a controversial election law at a conference during a Fox News Channel interview on Thursday morning.
