That all depends on whose ox is gored and how much they will contribute to his campaign, doesn't it?

Florida Power is a huge contributor to Republican causes. Because they are largely pro-fossil fuel.

The Solar Industry is a huge contributor to Democratic causes. Because they are pro-clean energy.

His reason for vetoing a bill sent to him by a Republican-controlled state congress was that the people of Florida have been hit with enough hardships recently and that he didn't feel it was fair to legislate another corporate price gouging tactic into existence.

Why don't Democrats have someone like him? Positioning themselves as the assumed 2024 party nominee. Acting on hot-button Democratic issues instead of talking about them. Grabbing headlines and media attention?
