After vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance made a stop in Georgia to talk border security and immigration, he stopped at a donut shop with his campaign crew and members of the press only to be met with unimpressed employees.

But it appears a political line in the sand is being drawn after DeSantis’ administration announced plans this week to carve out golf courses and pickleball courts in Florida’s beloved state parks.

Unlike the issues of abortion, LGBTQ rights, race and guns that have divided voters, state parks apparently hold a place in the hearts of Floridians regardless of party.
