This is a short newsletter, because I’ve been otherwise occupied by Andrew Gillum’s stunning victory in the Florida gubernatorial race tonight. Here’s our story on that startling upset. Gillum -- a loyal Bad News reader for several years now -- ran as an outspoken progressive. One lesson to be gleaned from both his race and that of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is that it’s not only the message that’s important the quality of the candidate -- their charisma, their talent, their ability to connect -- matters almost as much, sometimes more.
Andrew Gillum wins!
