Insiders are reporting widespread panic and despair in Florida's Democratic Party after a series of crushing defeats in the midterm elections.
More than a dozen organizers, former lawmakers, donors, and other leaders told the Washington Post of the dire situation the party is in two months out from major defeat.
“The thing about Florida Democrats is we keep learning with every passing year that just when you thought you had hit bottom, you discover that there are new abysses to fall deeper and deeper into,” Fernand Amandi, a veteran Floridian Democratic operative, told the outlet. Florida has become the first state since Reconstruction to have no Democratic statewide officeholders.
Fallout from November's losses in Florida led to Diaz's resignation, but he blamed the party's “long-standing, systemic and deeply entrenched culture resistant to change.”
