Walk it like they talk it: Andrew Gillum, Cory Booker in Jacksonville parade

One Democrat who wants to be Florida Governor and another who may want to be United States President will walk together in a Jacksonville parade Saturday morning.

Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum will be joined by United States Sen. Cory Booker at the Edward Waters College parade.

Gillum, who resumed campaigning in Jacksonville on Thursday, will hold his third public event in the city in under 48 hours. At least one fundraising event has been held also.

The Tallahassee Mayor resumed his campaign with a rally at a Jacksonville church, his first of two stops in the city Thursday afternoon, with a fundraiser in between the two public events.

His second stop: a speech at the NAACP banquet, which attendees said was among the best attended of all 53 iterations of that event.

Gillum faces Republican Ron DeSantis, Reform Party nominee Darcy Richardson, and a host of minor candidates on the ballot.

Votes by mail are already being cast, and Duval County’s early voting starts Monday. It will be worth watching if Gillum’s GOTV translates into a Democratic bump before the Souls to the Polls efforts the next two weekends.
