Overview
- Invitations to local activists and Democrats bill an “announcement rally” and promise “an important announcement and outline for the future.”
- The event is scheduled for 5 p.m. on Nov. 6 at the Rosen Centre on International Drive in Orlando, with POLITICO first reporting the details.
- Demings has not formally filed for governor as of Friday, though multiple local Democrats say they expect him to run.
- A University of Florida poll this week shows Demings trailing Byron Donalds by 12 points and Casey DeSantis by 11 in hypothetical matchups.
- A potential launch would reshape the Democratic primary field that includes David Jolly as Republicans such as Donalds and Paul Renner post sizable fundraising leads.
