Published | Video Starts at 1:55:05

When I took office in 18, we had 300,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans. We were the quintessential swing state. One point race. Year after year, that was the norm in Florida. I won reelection four years later by a million and a half votes. (1:55:05–1:55:11)
