The 1st DCA has just released more Hope Florida docs. This shows that it was Fla AG @JamesUthmeierFL who last Friday asked the court to block the airing of Hope Florida ads. The court rejected the request. Hours later the RPOF filed a lawsuit in Highlands County about it ...

Fla Dems chair @NikkiFried responds that Dems didn't take down the first ad because of the lawsuit but is just "rotating ads." In a statement Fried also said "their stunt backfired" & "thanks to the lawsuit more Floridians are paying attention."

Gov. DeSantis this p.m. said he didn't know about the RPOF lawsuit but he called @JoseJavierJJR a "dirtbag" for being involved in the Hope Florida ad that includes an image of first lady Casey DeSantis. "I will ensure he ends up suffering a very stinging defeat."

The campaign of @ByronDonalds is out with another ad taking aim at @davidjollyfl & calling him "radical" and "Florida can't afford liberal David Jolly." Donalds - thru his PC, his campaign and help from RPOF - has now passed the $100m mark on ads. piped.video/watch?v=amV71-oV…

I'll be hitting a couple radio stations tomorrow to discuss Sen. Moody's press avoidance, which is a big story this campaign cycle that I hear complaints about more from Republicans than Democrats.

Scoop - House Majority Leader Steve Scalise is heading to Florida as the GOP works to shore up red seats across the ruby-red state
Scalise will hold a GOTV rally in Kissimmee Thursday with Republican Dan Green who is challenging Dem Rep. Darren Soto in #FL09, according to an invite obtained by @politico
Soto should be toast from the GOP redistricting effort in Florida, but he’s still hauling in significant fundraising and Dems say their internal polling shows a tight race.
Scalise will be with GOP Rep. Maria Salazar in the #FL27 Miami area Friday. He’ll also hold events for Ryan Elijah (#FL07), Brian Mast (#FL21) and Gus Bilirakis (#FL12).
NRCC is launching its first coordinated ad spending with GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna today in #FL13 - a district where Trump won by double digits - as top GOP groups cut bait in flipping several other Dem-held districts in FL.

It appears that the first Hope Fla ad has stopped running. The Dems spent nearly $1.5 m on it. Another ad touting @JoseJavierJJR that mentions @JamesUthmeierFL & Hope Fla has been produced as well but Ad Impact shows that only $6k has spent on that one.

Good morning. A newly-released poll from the U. of North Florida has the governor's race in a dead heat. It has @ByronDonalds up 2% over @davidjollyfl which is within the margin of error. UNF's Sean Freedeer said “a win by either candidate would be unsurprising.”

One more thing: @davidjollyfl raised another $3.15M during a fundraiser with former President Bill Clinton today. So that's a $4M infusion with two weeks to go.
