Kamala Harris gave a speech to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, in which she pushed for more voting rights by video-linking the congregation of the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Georgia.

🗣 "Today, our freedom to vote is under assault," she said. "In Georgia and across our nation, anti-voter laws are being passed that could make it more difficult for as many as 55 million Americans to vote. ... That is one out of six people in our country."

📜 Harris called on the Senate to pass the Voting Rights Act, which she said "represents the first real opportunity to secure the freedom to vote since the U.S. Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act nearly a decade ago."

But besides the former president and governor of Florida, there are at least 2 other prospective presidential candidates from the Sunshine State - Marco Rubio and Rick Scott - making Florida the epicenter of the early fight for the Republican presidential nomination.

I have just spent millions of dollars on the Blue Monster golf course at Trump National Doral in the heart of Miami. Incredible what has been created. The Blue Monster is one of the greatest courses in the world, and a favorite of PGA tour players. Check it out! Also, will be applying for 2,300 units of luxury housing, retail, and commercial space in Phase 1 at Doral. This is perhaps the most exciting development in the Country—and the Blue Monster course coupled with the Red, Gold, and Silver, are setting records!

@real_DonaldJTrump privately sees fellow Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as an ingrate with a "dull personality" who stands no chance of defeating him in a potential 2024 Republican matchup

🤭 Dr. Fauci, apparently, has long considered himself a politician, otherwise how can one explain such provocative behavior.

Republican Physicians' Caucus vice chairman, Rep. Greg Murphy, sent a scathing letter to Fauci, in which he criticized President Biden's chief medical adviser for his unprofessionalism towards Kansas Senator Roger Marshall.
