Early voting is underway next week in Florida’s primary election. One race on the ballot will decide which Democrat faces Gov. Ron DeSantis in November.
A new poll shows former Gov. Charlie Crist and Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried in a dead heat for that nomination.
Fried will hold a town hall in Jacksonville tomorrow to rally her supporters. She is bringing in high-profile surrogates from Florida and beyond, including former South Carolina politician Bakari Sellers. Sellars is now an analyst for CNN.
Guest: Bakari Sellers, former member of the South Carolina House of Representatives, CNN commentator.
