Republican Congressional candidate Eddie Speir joins TBT's Mitch Maley to discuss his grassroots campaign for the Congressional District 16 seat being vacated by Vern Buchanan, as well as various issues relevant to the race, such as the Iran War, AI data centers, and more. Speir managed to get nearly 40% of the vote in his 2024 primary challenge of Buchanan and hopes to secure the party's nomination in August. You can learn more about Eddie's campaign here.

Am seeing Speir as a way to avoid the issues of the Gruters (being the funnel through which all the dark money flows, while taking a cut), but he seems very uniformed very supportive of the policies folks have recognized as needing to be voted out asap. Yes, let's get rid of the corruption, but the package deal he seems to be supporting needs to be rejected as well.
So thanks for the interview, perhaps folks voting by his party alone will choose him in the primary — better than Gruters — making it easier to select someone such as Kirschner or one of the better opponents in the general election.
