The Democratic Candidate for Governor of Florida Just Perfectly Clapped Back at Donald Trump for Slamming Him at His Latest Rally

The Democratic Candidate for Governor of Florida Just Perfectly Clapped Back at Donald Trump for Slamming Him at His Latest Rally

Boom.

Democratic Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum is firing back at President Donald Trump, who took an indirect swipe at Gillum at a MAGA rally in Montana on Thursday.

"Heard went after me again tonight — in Montana — but still didn't have the courage to @ me by name," Gillum tweeted Thursday night.


Mr. President, my name is Andrew Gillum and I'm going to be the next Governor of Florida because lies and scare tactics don't vote, people do.

During a stump speech for Montana Republican Senate candidate Matt Rosendale, Trump said it would be a "disaster" for Florida if his chosen candidate, Ron DeSantis, loses the race. Trump did not mention Gillum by name.

"Ron for governor," Trump said, plugging DeSantis into a speech for Rosendale.

Florida voters came to Gillum's defense. He's drawing a lot of excitement from the progressive left.

Gillum, the current mayor of Tallahassee, won a surprise upset victory in Florida's Democratic primary race last month and currently leads DeSantis, a three-term Republican Congressman, in the polls. If he wins, Gillum would become Florida's first black governor.

The day after the primary, Trump tweeted that Gillum is "a failed Socialist Mayor...who has allowed crime & many other problems to flourish in his city. This is not what Florida wants or needs!"

Gillum quickly responded to Trump, urging the president to tag him if he's looking to pick a fight.

"What our state and country needs is decency, hope, and leadership. If you agree, join us at . Also, @ me next time, ."

Gillum is not the only gubernatorial candidate Trump attacked in his Thursday speech - without having the courage to use their names.

Trump insulted the entire state of California, where Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom (D) is running on a platform of universal health care for all California residents.

"But I said to myself just common sense, everybody's gonna come in," Trump said of California. "I may even move to California to get free health care," he added. "I may move there."

Newsom responded: "Next time you call me and my policies out, have the guts to @ me and we can have a chat."

Twitter once again tore into Trump and his unpresidential behavior.

Some California voters don't want Trump to move to their state.

Trump also warned attendees that California could "increase in size to 500 million people" if Newsom gets elected.

"California has just become one really large person," Trump added.

AG Pam Bondi's Brother Blames 'Rabid Partisans' After Getting Absolutely Walloped In DC Election

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump has often bragged about his overwhelming victory over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming he won by a landslide. But while he did manage to finally win a popular vote in 2024, something he lost in 2016 and 2020, it was hardly a landslide.

About 90 million eligible, registered voters didn't bother to vote at all in 2024, while Trump garnered only ~77 million votes, VP Harris received about ~75 million—a difference of only ~2 million which is less than the population of Trump's hometown of Queens, New York City.

Kristi Noem's Past Views On National Guard Come Back To Bite Her After She Backs Trump Amid LA Protests

California Governor Gavin Newsom called out the hypocrisy of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after sharing a clip from last year showing she'd once criticized the Biden administration for considering deploying the National Guard when Democrats suggested it as a response to Texas' immigration crackdown at the time.

That's noteworthy because Noem has made an about-face, defending President Donald Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests in response to his administration's immigration raids by claiming he'd taken this drastic step "for the safety of this community ... to keep peace."
