Doug Emhoff, Jaime Harrison and Nikki Fried are also headlining events.

U.S. House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi is leading off a multiday early voting blitz to get Democrats in the Sunshine State energized and to the polls.

On Tuesday morning, Pelosi will sit down with several Miami-Dade candidates for a women’s get-out-the-vote breakfast at an undisclosed locale.

Florida Democratic Party (FDP) Chair Nikki Fried and Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, who won re-election by a landslide in August, will join her, an FDP press note said. So will Miami-Dade School Board member Lucia Báez-Geller, who is running for Congress, and Jackie Gross-Kellogg, a Florida House candidate.

Báez-Geller is challenging Republican U.S. Rep. María Elvira Salazar. Gross-Kellogg hopes to unseat Republican state Rep. Vicki Lopez in House District 113.

“With your vote, you will help Democrats win, preserve our democracy, restore a woman’s right to choose and elect Kamala Harris as President of the United States,” Pelosi said Monday in a video posted to X.

“We must reject what’s-his-name, who would immediately usher in Project 2025, no matter what he says. … This election is too important for anyone to sit on the sidelines.”

Then at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison will join former U.S. Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell at Carolina Chicken in Jacksonville for an early voting kickoff event.

Mucarsel-Powell is running against Republican U.S. Sen. Rick Scott. While all polls show Scott is leading her in the race, some have it extremely close.

At 6:30 p.m., Fried will convene with Puerto Rico Democratic Party Chair Luis Dávilla Pernas, U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor and other to-be-announced participants for another early voting kickoff at Casa Kamala in Tampa.

And on Wednesday, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff will visit Broward and Miami-Dade to rally Floridians to vote for Harris and other Florida Democrats up and down the ticket, a Harris for President media advisory said.

        If Trump takes office and you have a nanny in your house and that nanny is an undocumented alien, your nanny will be deported and you’ll be hung for harboring a dangerous illegal fugitive criminal on fentanyl!

          Have you gone to your city council yet and proposed that your city build a migrant tent camp at say your local sports or city park? You sound like all of those Demo citizens and politicians that scream “sanctuary cities”.. And then they show up.🤣

            Demo citizens and politicians that scream “sanctuary cities” advise folks they’ll be hung for employing and harboring an illegal fugitive?

            Yeah, I reckon they do. Your side didn’t see the downside of deregulation (not until your insurance claim got denied this week, and who even knows if any of y’all can connect those dots).

            You surely also don’t see the downside of white nationalism. So yes, you are being warned: You want your maid. You want your yard guy. You think you’ll be exempt.

            But no, you, too, will be hung by the people you vote into power thinking you and they were on the same side because they told you so.

    Pelosi forced Sleepy Joe to hang it up. You rightwing Trumpers ought to be grateful. Of course you no longer put country first, so you’re upset that Trump has a race on his hands.

    You honestly believe the economic mirage Trump promises, the voodoo economics of trickle down is going to work this time. Stocks at an all time high, unemployment at historic lows, inflation worldwide and coming down. Trump will not inherit the booming economy he did in 2017. He’ll crater it and blame immigrants.
