Given Florida's Trumpiness, Gaetz is probably more in touch with the state's electorate than Rubio is.
There's more of an audience for Matt Gaetz than there is for whatever Rubio is selling.
Rubio is in awkward position. Voters didn't want what he was selling in 2016 so he's trying to make himself a bridge between that and Trumpism.
Matt Gaetz can excite the boomers. Marco Rubio can put them to sleep.

Whoever operates this account is back to pretending to be a real person. This account went offline for a while before coming back under a completely different username. This account has claimed to be an Asian woman from Provo, Utah who attends GWU. (h/t @AndrewSolender ) Image
No such person attends George Washington University.
No evidence has been found to support this existence of this supposed "Thao Nguyen" person.

No GOP nominee has won a town in Berkshire County, Massachusetts since 2000. Seems likely that streak will end in 2024. The little town of Florida went for Biden by 1.4% or a margin of six votes. Was Obama +33% in 2012.

Last voted GOP for Pres in 1988 of all years. Image

It's really pathetic how desperate they are to copy AOC without understanding her appeal. All these people have a fraction of the following she does. You can't copy the "Squad" and expect it to take off.
Victoria Spartz doesn't even have 7,000 followers. AOC has almost 11 million.
Republicans just don't get what made AOC take off and why their myriad of impostors always flop.

I don't see how ticket splitting is in any way suspicious. People still do it. Ticket splitting exists.
Both the MAGA and resistance crowd have something in common: they can't comprehend ticket splitting. It's not fraudulent.
Some resisters were claiming Kentucky's results were fraudulent because McConnell won counties where there are more registered Democrats than Republicans.

In 1988, CBS wrongly called Illinois for Dukakis. Bush ultimately won the state by 2%. (h/t @MikeCarolla )
They called the race for Bush just 10 minutes later.
One of the earliest election night calls. Not even two hours after the first polls closed was Bush declared the winner.

Eight years after Mitt Romney easily carried Georgia's 6th District, Joe Biden flipped it by a decisive 11 point margin. This district based in the northern Atlanta suburbs has transformed from solidly Republican to solidly Democratic in the Trump era.
Here is the full statewide breakdown I calculated for Niles to map.
Fun fact: back when my family was looking at where to move, we almost moved to Alpharetta, Georgia in 2010 rather than North Carolina.
