Regarding the 2026 midterms, in order for FL Democrats to get traction, I think the Florida Democratic Party needs to come to terms with what their real stance should be on Cuba and U.S. relations with it.

Currently, as a result of President Biden's decision to undo the sanctions on Cuba and delist the country as a terrorism sponsor, FL Democrats such as Rep. Jared Moskowitz, FL Democratic Party Chair Nikki Freed and Former State Senator Annette Taddeo are ripping Biden a new one over this decision.

However, Biden was faced with a difficult situation with the Catholic church over releasing prisoners had this decision not been made. He may have also handed Trump a liability should he as POTUS reverse Biden's executive order. This would present a major headache for Marco Rubio if he serves as Secretary of State, especially given he's Cuban-American.

I don't see what's socialist about the U.S. trading with Cuba with making necessary trade-offs for the government to change so that the country doesn't become another Venezuela. One of the trade-offs could include Cuba having a market economy and the government moving away from Communist rule. That of course would take a lot of time.
