President Donald Trump attacked Democrats in one corner of Florida on Saturday (Nov. 3), while Margaritaville king Jimmy Buffett took musical shots at him and Gov. Rick Scott in another as the state’s tight Senate and gubernatorial races reached the final weekend of campaigning.
Both sides went to strongholds, with Trump holding a rally in conservative Pensacola with Scott, who is challenging U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, and former U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis, who is running for governor. He praised both Republicans, called Gillum a “radical socialist” and said Nelson never calls him to push programs that would benefit Florida.
Buffet used “Margaritaville,” and criticized Scott for the state’s environmental problems: “Some people say that there’s a red tide to blame, but I know that it’s all Rick Scott’s fault.”
