Although multiple attempts failed by Republican challenger state Rep. Mike Miller to get Democratic U.S. Rep. Stephanie Murphy to allign herself with her party’s left wing, the two nonetheless offered stark differences on guns, abortion, climate change, and their economic policies during a debate Tuesday. At the Tiger Bay Club of Central Florida, Murphy held […]

As President Donald Trump arguably faces increasing legal liability due to events surrounding several of his associates, Democrat David Richardson is repeating his calls for impeachment as he campaigns for Florida’s 27th Congressional District.

State Rep. David Richardson, a Democratic candidate in Florida’s 27th Congressional District, keeps pressing for the impeachment of President Donald Trump in a new TV spot.

He then attempts […]

Democratic U.S. Rep. Darren Soto and Democratic former U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, who wants to take his job back from Soto, may agree in principal on most Democratic positions but on Thursday that didn’t stop an almost unrelenting brawl with bruising attacks on each other ranging from how they treat women to multiple accusations of […]

Former U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson is entering the Democratic primary field against his successor U.S. Rep. Darren Soto ready to brawl, already going after the incumbent as someone he said has done nothing meaningful regarding the district, Puerto Rico, or President Donald Trump.

JJR, you serious? At around 6:30 p.m. Friday — the day Michael Flynn pled guilty in federal court, in case you’d forgotten — Florida state Senator and Democratic primary candidate in the crowded CD 27 field, JJR (née José Javier Rodriguez) sent an email with the subject line “Impeachment.” Interesting, I thought, as JJR has […]

There are three critical “T’s” of political campaigns: timing, temperature and tone. Mary Barzee Flores hit all three when she called for the impeachment of Donald Trump. The former circuit judge and current candidate in Miami’s “clown car” Democratic primary in Florida’s 27th Congressional District also urged fellow Democrats to run on the issue in […]

President Donald J. Trump should be impeached and removed from office. As a former judge, I don’t make that statement lightly, but I have come to believe such steps, sadly, are necessary to restore trust, respect, and dignity to the American presidency. That said, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation — and those of the U.S. […]
