The MSM praising his handling of Covid? I hope that was sarcasm. The NYT had stories about how bad he was handling the pandemic. At one point Florida led the world - yes, the world, not just the U.S. - in Covid deaths. That statistic lasted for 2 weeks.

(I edited the 1st sentence.)

Yes, they did praise his handling of the pandemic because he opened all the schools, restaurants, and other places of business way before any other state. No matter that many people died. The businesses were happy to make money.

Yes, there was some of that - mostly about the schools I believe. That remains a thorny subject in much of the country. The rosy COVID numbers FL put out turned out to be unreliable. He got a lot of flack for that, how the vaccines were doled out and his not-so-marvelous head of public health. So on balance, I believe he got much more criticism than praise.

Yes, Annette, he did. And people died because of it. That's why he failed as a candidate in any state outside of Florida. We knew the truth.

Michael, I think the "good work" was referring to Judd's close reporting on the Florida stories.
