News summary

Former President Donald Trump has voiced his support for Florida's Amendment 3, which aims to legalize recreational marijuana for adults over 21, emphasizing the need for responsible legislation to prevent public consumption and ensure safety. In a statement on Truth Social, Trump highlighted that while he backs the voters' decision, he advocates for laws that prohibit public usage to avoid chaos akin to that seen in Democrat-run cities. A recent poll from the James Madison Institute indicates strong support for the amendment, with 64% of likely voters in favor, including 74% of Democrats and 54% of Republicans. Moreover, Rep. Lois Frankel has officially endorsed the measure, stating that it would end outdated laws and promote safe usage. The pro-legalization campaign is significantly funded, with $71.8 million raised, which contrasts sharply with the $14.5 million raised by opposition groups. If passed, the initiative could generate substantial tax revenue for the state, forecasted between $195.6 million and $431.3 million annually.
