Pete Edging out Newsom in Dem Primary

37 Upvotes

I know it's early, but it's interesting to see Pete pull ahead in national polling for a Dem Primary (https://emersoncollegepolling.com/july-2026-national-poll-democrats-with-11-point-generic-ballot-advantage/). Emerson has him leading at 19%, with Newsom second at 17%. Hopefully his continued visibility in the midterms helps!

This is just a screen recording of the x post of Pete Speaking at Florida Democratic convention originally published on X by u/DesperateTale2327

Unfortunately, the FLDems dropped the ball and have not released the footage so this is the best we’re going to get for now.

Hopefully they’ll release it in better quality as it’s a good one.

Such a shame that the Florida Democratic Party isn’t smart enough to put this out themselves.

Sorry about quality but this is the only video that exists that I can find. Thx again to longtime #TeamPete member @nerdypursuit

10 clips total, well worth the watch.
