The most interesting insight from this article, imho, is that abortion rights in Florida are on the ballot in 2024, abortion rights have passed in every referendum on the topic since the recent Supreme Court fuckery, and that women coming to the polls to vote for their reproductive rights might skew the numbers more in favour of Democrats, independent of polling.

So Democrat victories in Florida (including a senator seat) are looking like a real possibility.

Florida also has recreational marijuana on the ballot which also has the potential to increase Democratic turnout. Personally I think Florida is due for a Blue wave.
