3/4 Vaccination rates are harder to rank because the CDC site doesn’t have a chart. So I had to fill the data in manually. FL is about 16th in vaccination rates & is ahead of NY, CA and TX. Of the 10 biggest states, only MI is aheadpic.twitter.com/yAk6wfJGXo

4/4 And then there's unemployment, a major driver of DeSantis's popularity in the GOP. Florida's unemployment rate is 6.1%, better than the national average and ahead of every major blue state and ever other large state. It ranks 27th on the BLS chartpic.twitter.com/zRpdxrQRYs

Oops. I should’ve included the FL GOP poll, conducted by
@ryan_tyson for a private client who then gave it to me, that shows DeSantis more popular than Trump It’s remarkable because Trump won FL in 20 by a bigger margin than Obama did in 2008pic.twitter.com/Xuw5DRb2Oo

Describing Ron as a heartthrob just may be the grossest thing you ever typed.
