President Donald Trump is in some trouble in the swing states, including Florida – if you believe the polls.

With that in mind, WINK News reporter Morgan Rynor spoke with Trump’s son, Eric, and Florida’s top Democrat, Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, on Tuesday to get their takes on the presidential race.

Eric Trump said to forget about the polls. He’s confident his father will not only win Florida, but reelection. That’s not surprising, but listen to his answer when Rynor asks him about it – and then the Democratic response from the only Democrat in Florida’s Cabinet.

Rynor: “Your father, President Trump, is trailing behind in a few key states that were very important in 2016. Not much time left. What is it going to take over the next few weeks, next few months, in order to win those states?”

“Morgan, I can tell you he’s not. You know we talk about the silent majority a lot. And I can’t tell you that the iceberg, you have the tip that pops out of the water and then you have everything else below, and I promise you the support is better than ever before,” Trump responded.

Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried doesn’t buy it.

“I think what you’ve seen not only here in the state of Florida, but the entire country has really continued to lose faith in President Trump and the pandemic is a pure example of his failed leadership,” Fried said.
