How Florida Turned American Politics Into a Tabloid Nightmare

Vanity Fair correspondent Gabriel Sherman joins Joe Hagan to discuss the “Floridization” of conservative politics.

This week, Vanity Fair correspondent Gabriel Sherman joins cohost Joe Hagan to discuss the “Floridization” of conservative politics, from the hanging chads of the 2000 election to Trump’s “Southern White House” in Palm Beach to Governor Ron DeSantis’s ostensible 2024 campaign slogan, “Make America Florida.” The Hive correspondents explore the history of tabloid and conservative media in Florida and the inevitable merger of the two in the form of Trumpism, expanding and riffing on Hagan’s feature in the September issue of Vanity Fair,Postcards From the Edge.”
