FL-06: 'This race is about Donald Trump and Elon Musk': DNC chair visits Florida amid tight special election [View all]
The Republican nervousness around the special election in Florida’s deep-red 6th Congressional District was enough to bring Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin to the area to canvass over the weekend.
Buoyed by strong performances in recent special elections, including a narrow state Senate win in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the DNC is now turning its attention to the race between Republican state Sen. Randy Fine and progressive teacher Josh Weil.
“I wanted to come out to make sure that we help close strong in this election,” Martin, a longtime Democratic tactician and Minnesota state party leader, told Florida Playbook in a phone interview after spending the morning in DeLand.
More than halfway through the 25-minute interview, however, Martin hadn’t brought up Fine once. When Florida Playbook pointed this out, he said: “I haven’t heard much about him at the doors, to be honest with you. And so I think this race is about Donald Trump and Elon Musk and people’s deep dissatisfaction with what’s happening.”
