The identity of the individual set to challenge Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has now been determined by Florida’s Democratic primary voters.
When given a choice between former Governor Charlie Crist and current Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, the voters chose Crist.
Dave Wasserman was the first to call the race on Twitter.
I’ve seen enough: Charlie Crist (D) defeats Nikki Fried (D) in the #FLGOV Dem primary and will face Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) in the fall.

According to the Guardian:
“He’s the most arrogant governor I’ve ever seen in my life,” Crist said of DeSantis to the assembled teachers who nodded in agreement. “It is shocking, it really is. Enough is enough.”
Now a political centrist and one of the first in Congress to endorse Joe Biden’s presidential candidacy in 2020, he finds himself increasingly taken aback at the state of his former party.
No Democratic presidential candidate has won Florida since 2012, leading many observers to argue the state is losing its purple status – a term that signifies a swing state, one that can move from Republican to Democrat, and vice versa.
go desantis–desantis for repeat fla gov. desantis for future president of the usa
Hey, Crist, first look in a mirror; or then again, maybe you were when you were criticizing DeSantis.
Crist and the Teachers Union are parasites. They feed off of our children and act like the gestapo, instead of helping too mold and educate our children to get ahead they demoralize them and turn them into little brown shirt communists and sexual perverts. Shame is on the Teachers union and Christ
This crist guy is just another failure, and he’s going to make Florida suffer. The democratic voters will eventually regret this as usual.
Crist or Desantis, hmmm let me see,…. Freedom loving governor or tax and spend socialist? ,…. I think I would choose,…. Desantis !
Crist was the biggest “sell out” governor in Florida history. He sold out to the modern liberal powers for a LOT of money deposited in off shore numbered bank accounts. This man is a crook, by any definition.
Let’s hope Florida is still smart enough to get rid of the grifter Crist. Worthless. 2022 is definitely shaping up as a battle against “Teacher’s” Unions. Watch Oklahoma for another battle ground state for Superintendent of Education. Ryan Walters versus some creepette.
Charlie Crist has not been a good American, nor for the people of Florida for decades. Crist is only in need of a job. The only opening was a filthy Democrat position. Every Democrat, even though they act so nice and soft and smooth, will vote 100% for Biden….. such as packing the Southern Border with illegals and bring in the Fentanyl killing drugs, higher gas prices and food costs going higher , with less food available? The democrats have planned how to destroy America ????????????????????????????/
crist is scum
Crist is not worthy to wipe the dust off of DeSantis’s shoes.
Crist? Again? Are you serious? If you wouldn’t buy a car from him, how could you vote for him?
Who is Crist ? what values does he actually believes ? One day he is Republican,next independent and now a Democrat ….would the real Charlie please stand up!
