In 2022, Florida Democrats were a sacrificial lamb.

Putting two things together:

A couple days ago, Chair Manny Diaz sent around an email thanking the candidates and volunteers for their efforts in this cycle. He characterized the results as disappointing but noted that in the 2018 midterms, DNC groups invested $60 million in the state and in 2022 that investment was slashed to $2 million.

This morning, DNC Chair Jaime Harrison was on air with Jonathan Capehart and bragged about the national ground game they financed this cycle. He said they went from a $30 million investment in 2018 to $90 million this year. That's Florida's missing $60 million and it's hard to argue with the outcome.
