Andrew Gillum Political Rise and 2018 Florida Gubernatorial Race
Andrew Gillum was groomed as a progressive rising star with significant backing from Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders during his 2018 run for Florida Governor. Despite a narrow loss to Ron DeSantis, Gillum was viewed as a potential future presidential or vice-presidential candidate. His "Teflon" reputation began to erode as various scandals and investigations surfaced following the election.
Republicans like Marco Rubio and Ron DeSantis are reportedly making direct appeals to Black men, recognizing the "juice is worth the squeeze" for their vote.

The hosts suggest that Black men are beginning to negotiate their own political deals rather than following the voting patterns of the Black female political class.
