Republicans are losing the messaging front, despite the fact that Democrats are merely recycling old mottos such as "Tax the rich"

Florida Daily Show hosts Ed Dean and Lindsay Randall discuss the top issues for the final stretch of the 2026 Midterm Election.

Could Florida’s Amendment 3 lead to higher rents?

The Florida Housing Coalition and other organizations warn that the amendment could shift more of the property tax burden onto rental property owners — potentially resulting in higher costs for renters.

Will political conventions make an impact on a midterm election?

Florida Daily Show hosts Ed Dean and Lindsay Randall discuss those issues with guest Matt O'Hern from NewSouthPolitics.com

The "Gator Bait" chant returns. The University of Florida Gators opened their 2026 football season by bringing back a formerly censored chant, “Gator Bait,” that was somehow interpreted as racist. The chant began over 30 years ago by a former Florida Gators defensive player (an African American) who celebrated a rivalry win by exclaiming, "If you ain't a Gator, you're Gator Bait." Leftists attempted to lump it into a random racist tradition from 200 years ago involving artistic references to black infants being fed to children. Why do politically correct leaders such as UF's former president insist on bringing politics into sports?

The Supreme Court just ruled in favor of vote by mail restrictions ordered by President Trump. Despite Trump's warnings of fraud and unreliable postal workers, he voted via absentee mail for this year's GOP primary and a recent special election in his home Congressional District. Would he serve a better example by voting in person? Florida Daily show hosts Ed Dean and Lindsay Randall discuss.

Are Data Centers the Hottest Issue for the 2026 Midterm Election? Florida Daily Publisher Ed Dean discusses the regional and local impact of data centers and the potential political fallout for candidates including GOP Governor candidate Byron Donalds, who said that voters should embrace data centers.

Florida Daily Show hosts Ed Dean and Lindsay Randall offer their predictions on the 2026 Republican Gubernatorial Primary in Florida. Byron Donalds is the heavy favorite, but many voters remain undecided on their choice for governor. Could Lt. Governor Jay Collins pull off a major upset, or is he too hampered by other contestants such as Paul Renner, James Fishback, and Bobby Williams? Matt O'Hern from NewSouthPolitics.com joined the discussion.

They're joined by Palm Beach State College professor Ed Lynch.

On today's episode, Florida Daily publisher Ed Dean discusses the bizarrely-low level of Republican enthusiasm about Byron Donalds and the 2026 race for governor. We also tackle top trending issues including data centers and Artificial Intelligence's impact on the economy.

Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidates are winning primaries, but could they hurt Democrats' chances for victories in swing states where most voters aren't leftists? Florida Daily Show hosts Ed Dean and Lindsay Randall discuss the dynamics with NewSouthPolitics.com editor Matt O'Hern
