[0:00] Florida has not emerged as highly
[0:02] competitive this cycle when it comes to
[0:04] the Senate and governor's races.
[0:05] Republicans in both appear to have an
[0:08] edge. However, several House races bear

[0:20] Mills, the subject of allegations of
[0:22] assault and threatening behavior, lost

[0:31] Democratic nominee Bale Dalton. And Bale
[0:34] Dalton joins the program now. Bale, it's

[0:56] withdrew $2 million in scheduled ads for
[1:00] this race. How do you connect those two?

[1:07] uh House Majority Pack is going to have
[1:09] a announcement uh uh that uh happened on
[1:12] Twitter a little bit earlie
