Republican strategist Rick Wilson warned on Monday that Florida's once-solid Republican grip is splintering ahead of November's midterm elections, telling an online audience that the state's MAGA coalition is collapsing and the party is locked in a 'civil war' over its future direction.
Wilson, a former GOP operative and now co-founder of the anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project, was speaking to veteran political reporter Scott MacFarlane during a live Substack video discussion. Florida, long treated by Republicans as a reliable red stronghold, is now seeing internal feuds intensify just as Democrats appear to be mounting their strongest statewide challenge in years.
