Episode Details

This week, it’s a Florida DOUBLE-HEADER on the Lincoln Project Podcast. First up: retired Army Brigadier General Leela Gray, the Democratic nominee running against Rep. Anna Paulina Luna in Florida's 13th District. Gray breaks down the cost-of-living crisis squeezing Pinellas County, Luna's refusal to hold town halls or debate, and the anti-corruption agenda she wants to take to Congress, including a REAL ban on congressional stock trading. Then, Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried explains how the party rebuilt from a 19-point statewide loss into a year-round organizing machine called Pendulum, going toe-to-toe with a Republican money advantage fueled by billionaires and no-bid contracts like ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ. Fried digs into the Hope Florida scandal, the insurance industry's shell-game finances, Byron Donalds' campaign for governor, and the congressional seats Democrats are targeting in November.
