Looking back on this race and imagining what could have been. I believe had Gwen Graham won the nomination, given 2018 was the year of women getting elected across the country, she would have defeated DeSantis and probably dragged Nelson over the finish line too in the Senate race. A Governor Graham would have at least had some say in a more “neutral” congressional map and the state Supreme Court would certainly be different. Would she have won re-election in 2022? I’m unsure but would probably say no, however it would not have been a 2022 red tsunami. What would Florida look like politically today had that happened? I’m sure Florida would have continued to move right, but without the DeSantis ground game and operation, who knows.

This race to me could very well be one of the most consequential for quite a while.

The Democrats could've won the Governor's race if they didn't nominate Gillum.

Democrats could have won here if they had a different candidate

Graham would have just lost in some different ways than Gillum ended up doing.
