“The Democratic Party in Florida is dead,” said Jason Pizzo, the leader of the Democratic minority of Florida’s Senate, Jason Pizzo, in his farewell words, not only is reduced from his leadership position in the party completely.
The Democratic Party said, it is not what it used to be. Therefore, it moves to the undesired state.
“Here is the problem: the Democratic Party in Florida is dead. But there are good people who can revive him. But they don’t want me to be,” he said “he will continue to fight incredible for everyone in the state of Florida.”
In addition, Pizzo pointed out that he is not alone in his position due to the Democrats, but to the non -affiliated voters.
“I am not in this position due to the Democrats. They chose me due to the NPA (there are no voters affiliated with the party). The 3.7 million people who have no party, who have no representation … stripping me of a title, a designation of parties, allow me to run free and clear, clean and transparent and help many, many more,” he continues.
The Florida Democratic Party did not tell its change as a loss, despite losing other legislators: state representatives. Susan Valdés and Hillary Cassel, who also fled the party.
“Jason Pizzo is one of the most ineffective and unpopular democratic leaders in recent memory, and his resignation is one of the best things that happens to the party in years,” said the president of the Democrats of Florida, Nikki Fried, in a statement.
“His legacy as a leader includes continuously belittling the base of the party, starting fights with other members and pursuing their own personal ambitions at the expense of democratic values,” he continued.
“Jason’s failure to generate support within our party for a governor career has led to this shameful final tantrum. I would be lying if I told me that I am sad with him, but I wish him the best of the luck in the Sadical Sadical Sadical Saint Florido Party Democratic is more united without him.”
“I won the blow,” Pizzo said on social networks. “Wishing the best to all.”
The Democratic Party has been in Free Florida for years, in part as Republicans continue to increase their voter registration numbers. They surpassed the Democrats for the first time in history in terms of registration of voters in November 2021, and that figure has only continued. The data, lastly updated on March 31, 2025, show the Republicans who exceed the Democrats for more than 1.2 million voters recorded in the state of Sunshine: 5,635,771 voters at 4,424,888 of the Democrats. According to the data, there are 3,690,537 voters without affiliation to the party.
“Senator Pizzo did not leave the Democratic party; the party left it,” Evan Power, president of the Republican Part of Florida said in a statement, when the Florida Republican party said that Pizzo is the third Democratic politician to leave the party in the state of Sunshine in recent months.
“I could have waited until the end of the legislative session to make this announcement, but it is clear that the direction of the game could not length,” Power said.
“This decision underlines the radicalization of today’s Democratic Party under players like Nikki Fried, Maxwell Frost and David Hogg. It contrasts with the JFK party or even Senator Bob Graham, who felt honest in the shit of the shit of the Florida State Capitol, “he added.
