Tuesday November 8, 2022 is Election Day in the United States of America. In addition to Congressional "midterms" at the federal level, many state governors and other more local offices are up for grabs. Given how things shook out over Election Day 2020, things could get a little crazy.
...or, perhaps, not! But here's the Megathread for if they do. Talk about your local concerns, your national predictions, your suspicions re: election fraud and interference, how you plan to vote, anything election related is welcome here. Culture War thread rules apply, with the addition of Small-Scale Questions and election-related "Bare Links" allowed in this thread only (unfortunately, there will not be a subthread repository due to current technical limitations).

Which is massive contrast to the absolutely crushing performance Desantis just put forth with Rubio.
To DeSantis's credit, he did just get his state through a godawful hurricane with what appears to be quite competent and rapid organization and work. That would buff anyone's poll numbers. Masters, Oz, and Walker didn't get that chance (not that I think any of them, other than mmmmmaaaaaayyyyyybeeeee Masters could have done remotely as well in DeSantis's shoes)
He also appeared on stage with Biden, and praised Biden's response and got praised in return. That's the kind of thing squishy moderates like to see as well. He probably didn't need them, but it certainly doesn't hurt.

I have to think being the national face of reopening for business after covid didn't hurt his numbers either.

You didn't notice that Desantis improved on his numbers with Hispanics, doing 50+% with Cubans, Puerto Ricans, and other Latinos?
That ain't just Boomers. Think that Latino support might be an important factor in 2024?
If so, who do the Dems have on their bench to capture it?
