“State Senate Minority Leader Jason Pizzo said Thursday he is leaving the Democratic Party and that Senate Democrats will be asked to elect a new leader, yet another low moment for Florida’s downtrodden minority party,” Politico reports.
“Pizzo, considered a possible candidate for governor in 2026, said unaffiliated voters helped elect him to office.
He added that the state party needed new leadership, but Democratic leaders didn’t want him to be it.”
