David Jolly targets Black voters and immigrant protections in Florida race

Democratic gubernatorial candidate David Jolly is focusing his final campaign weeks on securing support from Black voters in Florida, noting that approximately 10% of Black voters remain undecided. Jolly aims to prevent these voters from supporting his Republican opponent, Byron Donalds.

During his campaign, Jolly has pledged to protect immigrant communities, specifically the Haitian community in Miami, by challenging federal immigration policies. His platform includes supporting the extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and using state resources to provide legal representation for immigrants. Additionally, Jolly has vowed to end state cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). These promises have met with skepticism from some Florida residents who question his authority to influence federal immigration matters.
