Former Florida Democratic Gubernatorial Nominee Andrew Gillum Arrested on Drug Charges

Florida dodged a bullet with this degenerate. To think he came thisclose to winning Florida against DeSantis in 2018 in one of the tightest gubernatorial elections in Florida history.

Andrew Gillum came this close to being elected governor of Florida. He lost to Governor Ron DeSantis by less than 35,000 votes. You think Florida would be flourishing today if Gillum was elected Governor? Not a chance. Gillum would have turned the Sunshine State into California, New York, Illinois, and every other state that has been ruined by the Left. Members of the Communist Left being elected to political office are a national security threat. They must be vigorously challenged and exposed so they can hopefully never be elected dog catcher.

Andrew Gillum, who came within a fraction of a point of becoming Florida’s governor in 2018, is now facing drug charges after a traffic stop in Alabama.
