Bill Clinton campaigns for David Jolly in Florida governor’s race
Bill Clinton campaigned for Democrat David Jolly at an interfaith event in Pembroke Park, Florida.
It was the 80-year-old former president’s first public campaign appearance in Florida this election cycle.
The appearance came two weeks before Election Day, as Jolly tries to close the gap with Republican Byron Donalds, who is seeking to succeed term-limited Governor Ron DeSantis.
Recent polls cited in the story showed Donalds with a single-digit lead.
A Jolly win would make history: Florida has not elected a Democratic governor since 1994.
Jolly, a former Republican, is seeking support from moderate and undecided voters by focusing on high prices, home insurance costs and concerns about data centers.
Hillary Clinton is also expected to campaign for Jolly before Election Day.
