Former Barack Obama adviser David Plouffe conceded that the “Obama coalition” of Hispanics in Florida is “gone” after massive Republican wins projected on Tuesday.
, David Plouffe, admitted the"Obama coalition" has been wiped out in the state.
Early reports showed Republican candidates such as Sen. Marco Rubio and Gov. Ron DeSantis leading in the ordinarily left-leaning Miami-Dade County, much to the surprise of the network’s panel. "In Florida, it’s catastrophic. Obviously, we saw greater urgency in 20 in the presidential race. Let’s remember, Barack Obama won in 2012, basically tied the Cuban vote, got over 77% of Hispanic votes. The Obama coalition in Florida is gone. We have to rebuild it now," Plouffe said.
"The question will be in Arizona, in Nevada, huge Hispanic in North Carolina, Virginia. What will we see there? I would surprised to see anywhere near the erosion we’ve seen in Florida. I think this may be contained in Florida, maybe along some of the border and south Texas, where we saw some problems in west Texas in 2020, but this is a massive problem," he said.
