The current governor of Florida Republican Ron landing won the election and will occupy his post for four more years. He bypassed his closest competitor with a record margin – 1.5 million votes, or 20 percentage points.
BBC writes that perhaps the landing of the next year can put up its candidacy for republican primaries. This is concerned with another potential candidate – Donald Trump, who has already begun to threaten the re -elected governor allegedly available to him.
Trump, who lives in Florida, said that he had voted for the landing of the governor. At the same time, the ex-president dismissively spoke about the possible claims of landing to the White House.
Ron landing is a new face on the American political stage. He first elected to the House of Representatives 10 years ago, at the age of 34, but at the federal level he remained almost unknown until his first victory in the governor’s elections in 2019.
The political views of landing are distinguished by conservatism: it consistently takes a tough position in matters of gender identity, teaching in schools of racial issues, and also opposes abortion.
But, it seems, its electorate, this position impresses: judging by the results of polls, over three years of the state leadership, Governor Florida has increased popularity among voters from all demographic categories, the publication notes.
.
When the landing in 2018 decided to put his candidacy in the governor’s elections, he received the full and unconditional support of President Donald Trump.
A year after the landing of the governor’s oath, coronavirus pandemia erupted in the world. It was on it, according to most analysts, the landing and earned its main political glasses. By mid -March 2020, before many other states, the strict quarantine was introduced in Florida and hundreds of testing centers for the virus were opened. And by the beginning of the school year, despite the growing number of sick and persistent recommendations of Washington, the landing instructed to open schools. The voters of Florida had this in order, strengthening the reputation of the governor as an independent politician who is not afraid to argue with the federal authorities.
Analysts note that the landing of the Political Olympus owes precisely the infinite Boronies with the press about his most conservative views and ambiguous political steps.
