There is talk in the Washington Republican political establishment that Rep. David Jolly, a senatorial candidate in Florida, could leave his contested senate primary race and defend his congressional seat against Republican-turned-Independent-turned-Democrat, Charlie Crist.
The talk is resonating from within the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), where one source is saying that the NRCC has conducted a public opinion poll that has Jolly edging out Crist by 4 percentage points in a head-to-head race.The same source is also saying that Jolly is open to make the move, but is holding out for the full support of the NRCC and the donor base of support that comes along with it.
Again, this is what our source is saying, not what Jolly has said.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Jolly is considered the frontrunner in the Republican senatorial primary race, but has struggle to raise the money needed to compete statewide. Jolly is still very popular throughout his congressional district, and would be able to mount formidable defense of his seat,
David Jolly and his campaign could not be immediately reached for comment.
