This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Think we will get the outcome.
Robert is talking about
Florida, a battleground state,
a must win state for President
Trump. According to a new report,
Democrats are turning out at a
much lower rate than Republicans
in the important county of Miami.
Dade
Republicans have a nine point: four percent turnout
advantage in Miami Dade County,
where Biden will need
a significant margin of victory
to carry the state
here with more Florida. Governor
RON Desantis
tell us about Miami Dade and
early voting.
How do you match this up to twenty sixteen
or your race? When you ran for
governor
four years ago, there were
three hundred and forty thousand more registered
Democrats than Republicans.
Now its less than one hundred and forty thousand,
we added two hundred thousand republican
registrations.
We are winning by about five hundred and twenty thousand
republican ballots over
Democrats for in other than
early voting.
Democrats are going to the mail,
but we are closing the early
voting at a much faster rate
than in twenty. Sixteen
in Miami Dade, the president lost
it by thirty points and still won
the state.
He is now in a situation with
the turnout. We are seeing he
may be able to cut that margin
in half
a county as big as Miami Dade.
That could be a one hundred thousand vote
swing.
The cuban american community is
fired up and the
Venezuela Americans and all of
the Hispanics that understand
the threat that Marxism poses.
They are rally to Donald Trump
thats, something he had to do
better and I dont think we
could have done any better and I
hope it continues Sean. What are the other?
What are the other
things you hear Aringaring AR
hearing from Florida as it
relates to Joe Biden,
doom and gloom, and not giving
answers about packing the court
I cant imagine he wont answer
that question.
I think the answer is he will
pack the court.
He will be beholden to the left
wing.
What are they saying about? How
Biden has hidden the whole
campaign?
Well, I think its been
absolute joke.
He doesnt know who he is
running against.
He said he is running for the
Senate and the other day talked
about George W Bush,
his lock down mentality doesnt
play well in Florida.
We have all sixty seven counties: schools
open for in person,
five of the ten biggest school
districts in the country, and
obviously our economy is open.
People dont want to be locked
down, want parents want to send
their kids to school.
The message of doom and gloom is
not what people want to hear. The president is more optimistic.
The president is more optimistic
and that resonates more.
The doom and gloom about voting
shifted Democrats to vote by
mail
going into election day. We will
have two hundred thousand more super voters
who will turnout.
I think that margin will be
bigger this year.
Some is for the fear mongering
Biden has done.
I think it will come back to
bite him.
