Why are voters in Florida and Pennsylvania upset?
The reverberations of Donald Trump and Elon Musk and Doge wrecking ball to the United States of America is being felt in pissed off voters. We reported before what went down earlier this week, a political earthquake in Pennsylvania, Lancaster County, which didn't go Democrat since 1889. A Democratic Senate seat there flipped.
to Democrat, a candidate named James Malone became the state senator there. We're seeing Donald Trump withdraw the nomination of Elise Stefanik in a plus 21 Trump district in New York after Trump's pollster Fabrizio, Trump's guy, started showing Donald Trump all of this data, both what's going on in New York,
And of course, what's going on in Florida, where Fabrizio, again, Trump's pollster in the sixth congressional district in Florida, has the Democratic candidate, Josh Wheel, up by anywhere between three, four, or even more. In what used to be viewed as a plus 30, plus 35 Trump district, the leaker himself, Mike Walls, now the National Security Advisor, used to hold the congressional seat there.
So this is a vacant seat right now. You have the Democratic candidate, Josh Wheel, running against a MAGA Republican, Doge candidate, Randy Fine. And Josh Wheel's got momentum. He said, watch what I was doing a few months ago, and he's got momentum. People throughout Florida are absolutely pissed. It's no different in the sixth and people are pissed for a lot of different reasons.
I mean, you've got Trump supporters who may be Cuban or Venezuelan who are now having their family members targeted. We're seeing stories like this in Florida.
She's a Venezuelan immigrant now terrified of being deported. Are you afraid of your son walking to school?
yes truly yes what are you afraid of that they'll pick him up and he won't have time to call me also that it might happen when i'm not with him or he's not with me that is the worst fear i have like so many other venezuelans she cheered when donald trump was elected because of his tough approach to policies such as his promise to crack down on a violent venezuelan criminal organization
We will expel every single illegal alien gang member and migrant criminal operating on American soil.
You supported Donald Trump, even though you couldn't vote for him.
