DeSantis Has a New Campaign Theme Song by Lynyrd Skynyrd Lead Singer Johnny Van Zant

Governor Ron DeSantis Has a New 2022 campaign theme song written and performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd lead singer Johnny Van Zant titled “Sweet Florida.”

Listen to Sweet Florida by Johnny Van Zant:

Race to the White House says this about the 2022 race for governor of Florida:

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis may have his eyes set on the Republican nomination in the 2024 GOP Primary, but his presidential ambitions likely rest on his ability to win re-election in 2022. Democrats’ hopes of an upset are buoyed by the razor-thin margin of the 2018 governor election, where DeSantis won by just 0.4%, the closest election in state history. However, Republicans have several reasons to be confident as well. First, DeSantis was able to outlast the blue tidal wave that swept Democrats into the House on an over 8% win in the national popular vote, and the political environment will likely be more favorable in 2022. Second, Florida has shifted about 4% towards the Republican party since 2018, so Democrats will have to navigate their way through more treacherous political terrain to secure victory.
