CBS News reports that former President Bill Clinton campaigned for Democratic gubernatorial candidate David Jolly in Florida on Tuesday night, at an interfaith event. CBS also reports that more than a million people had already voted in Florida’s early voting. The Daily Mail says the appearance was Clinton’s first public campaign event of this cycle and that Clinton, who is 80, addressed his age at the start of his remarks. Breitbart News reports that Clinton said Americans need someone who will work to help them afford basic needs, and that Jolly is running against Republican Representative Byron Donalds to succeed Governor Ron DeSantis.
