Guardian reporter Fabiola Cineas followed Larkin, DSA members and volunteers on a Saturday in July as they knocked on doors and spoke to Florida residents on why they should vote for him. Surprisingly, many wanted to chat with the strangers at their door. #oliverlarkin #florida #donaldtrump #rondesantis #usa #politics #midterms
