Possible Senate candidate Ted Yoho
Thanks to Donald Trump, it's been hard for GOP primaries at any other level of politics to earn the distinction of being batshit hilarious, but Florida's Senate race might just stand a chance. That's because Rep. Ted Yoho, the large animal veterinarian who unexpectedly birthed his way into Congress via a primary challenge to an incumbent Republican back in 2012,
is reportedly considering a bid. That's not from the horse's mouth (an orifice Yoho undoubtedly has great familiarity with), but rather a "supporter close to Yoho" who gave several quotes to Sunshine State News.
If Yoho were to enter, he'd join Reps. Ron DeSantis, David Jolly, and (probably) Jeff Miller, plus Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera But it's the matchup with DeSantis that would really send the feathers flying: DeSantis is a Club for Growth golden child, while Yoho's demonstrated his free-range qualities by voting for himself as speaker of the House.
However, as enjoyable as it would be to see these two bighorn sheep crash heads, it would likely diminish the chance that either would earn the Republican nomination. That would make it tougher for Democrats to pick up this seat (they'd rather not face the likes of Jolly), but in politics, there's only so much that's under your control. For all the rest that's not, all you can do is sit back and chuckle at the barnyard antics.
