MAGA Rep Faces RUDE AWAKENING...IN FLORIDA!! - Meidas Touch



Retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones sits down with retired Army Brigadier General Leela Gray; 3 decades in uniform, commander at every echelon, and now the Democrat running to unseat Rep. Anna Paulina Luna in Florida's 13th District.

They cover it all: the collapsing Iran ceasefire and the Strait of Hormuz standoff, Congress ducking its Article I war powers, Secretary Hegseth's purge of women and minority officers from the military's top ranks, and the affordability crisis crushing Pinellas County where homeowners now pay triple the national average for insurance.

Gray's internal polling has her in a statistical tie with Luna even after Tallahassee redrew the map to protect her. This is a race to watch in 2026. - 07/18/2026.
