Darren Soto thinks Floridians’ pain is “leverage”

October 23, 2025

In case you missed it, yesterday Democrat Darren Soto’s boss, Democrat Whip Katherine Clark, finally told the truth: Democrats shut down the government and are forcing families to suffer for political “leverage.”

Floridians need to know: Does Darren Soto support causing suffering for working families in the name of political games? 

“Out-of-touch Democrat Darren Soto engineered a shutdown, then admitted that Floridians’ pain is ‘leverage.’ People’s lives aren’t poker chips, enough is enough.”
