SUMMARY: Florida Democrats are exploring opening primaries to include no-party-affiliated voters as part of rebuilding their party’s strength for 2026. Despite recent defections and claims that the party is “dead,” party chair Nikki Fried remains optimistic about a “blue wave” in upcoming elections due to national economic and political instability.
