Democrats are taking their arguments “on the road” in deep-red parts of Florida, with a group of them in Sarasota Saturday.
Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut and Rep. Maxwell Frost of Orlando spoke to supporters in the district of Rep. Greg Steube, who was re-elected in November with 64% of the vote, and who has nearly $1.7 million on hand for his 2026 campaign.
“We’re going to districts where the Republican member of Congress refuses to meet with people,” Frost said, ahead of contending the current President wants a “billionaire tax cut.”
Frost said that whether talking to Republicans or Democrats, conservatives or liberals, “everybody is (ticked) off.”
“Steube doesn’t think he represents you,” Murphy added.
Rather, the incumbent serves “creepy MAGA weirdos.”
“Greg Steube can hide. But if you’re in the business of turning our country over to the billionaire class … Sarasota’s going to hold you accountable for that,” the Senator said.
Murphy took aim at President Donald Trump’s ”memecoin,” calling it “the most corrupt thing in the history of the United States,” and staying the President is trying to “tiptoe opening up his office … to scalable bribery.”
During the town hall portion, Frost, who is the first Gen Z member of Congress, urged “young people” to follow his example and “run for office,” including local and state offices.
“We’re the leaders of today,” he said.
Murphy, who started in local politics, noted that he realized “to have any future in politics,” he “had to get the (heck) out of local politics.”
He also noted that events like this are intended to “create a permission structure” for Trump voters who “have decided to make a break” from the President’s desire “to be a dictator from Day One” and “destroy the rule of law.”
Despite the partisan lean in the 17th Congressional District, the pair delivered crowd pleasing lines.
Florida Democratic Chair Nikki Fried also addressed the crowd.
“This is what democracy looks like,” she said, adding that Democrats would “take back this county.”

Steube is afraid to meet with constituents, ditto John Rutherford. What is it that they fear?

They probably fear the Tesla firebombers that are now hijacking these meetings. Maybe the Hamas hooligans will show as well.

Thank you Foghorn for your above “Sage Wisdom”, We, The American People, need these Dooks, Chris Murphy, Maxwell Frost, and Nikki Fried to be more “OUT THERE” in the media.
These are the Dook-A-Crats most responsable for getting #47, Donald J. TRUMP RE-ELECTED AS POTUS.
Hey, Dooks, could y’all start taking that Dook, David Hogg, with you on your future “On the road” ventures???
We, The American People, would really appricate it if you would.

The Dems can’t be serious that they brought a CT liberal Senator and a GEZ X exremist to SWFL and actually believe they can harm Steube. No argument that Steube isn’t his father or could be a better representative, but this DNC clown show won’t resonate in his district. Take this show to Moskowitcz’ district and see if he supports his own people. FYI, I think Moskowitcz is a damn good Congressman and worked with him years ago in local government. This is nothing more than a headline for the DNC – a waste with little to no return.

Waiting to see what Moskovitcz does next. He’s got a level head on his shoulders.
Murphy is one Senator who has resisted Trump’s vicious and unlawful campaign against asylum seekers.
Frost does well with younger voters, and his message resonates to all ages: “We’re going to districts where the Republican member of Congress refuses to meet with people,” Frost said, contending the current President wants a “billionaire tax cut.”
(Trump is doing a kabuki maneuver on taxes, publicly asking for higher taxes for those above $400K, but knowing full well the MAGA in Congress aren’t about to do that.)
