**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**

**Dr. Vibert “Issa” White Announces Candidacy for U.S. House of Representatives, Florida, District 10**

**Orlando, FL, May 4, 2024** — Dr. Vibert “Issa” White is set to unveil his vision and present a “State of the District” address to the residents of Florida’s Congressional District 10 as he officially declares his candidacy to challenge Maxwell Frost. Dr. White asserts that Frost’s representation has been aligned with President Biden’s ineffective governance, hindering the progressive development of District 10’s constituents.

The escalating inflation crisis has placed residents in precarious situations, with working-class families struggling to put food on the table and homelessness reaching unprecedented levels, with 20,000 people in Orange County lacking shelter. The unemployment rate among African American and Latino men hovers at 10%, while college graduates face underemployment. Moreover, Dr. White highlights a concerning statistic that 80% of illegal aliens were clandestinely flown into Florida during the Biden-Frost tenure.

Dr. White underscores that promises made to District 10 residents remain undelivered, with Frost covertly supporting Biden’s War in Gaza. Recent polling data reveals that 81% of young voters aged 18-35 disapprove of Frost’s alignment with Biden’s military activities, including the funding of a new US-sponsored base in Gaza, contributing to almost $1 trillion in military expenditure that extends to the Middle East, Ukraine, Taiwan, and proxy wars in The Sudan.

While Frost claims to champion women’s rights, Dr. White criticizes his disregard for the alarming rate of maternal mortality among African American women in Orange County and across the nation, where Black mothers are dying at three times the rate of non-Black women during childbirth.

Regarding the Haitian Crisis, Dr. White accuses Frost-Biden of double standards, citing the allocation of $400 million to deploy a Kenyan Police Force to Haiti while ignoring the plight of Haitians facing deportation to the Bahamas, Guantanamo Bay (Cuba), and Port au Prince. This disparity has exacerbated tensions and instability in Haiti.

Dr. Issa leads a campaign and movement aimed at empowering District 10 residents, providing them with a genuine voice in the “People’s House,” the United States Congress. He pledges to dismantle policies and rhetoric that have stifled progress for the American people.

The official campaign kick-off and “Address to the Residents of District 10” will take place at 2295 South Hiawassee Road, Suite 309, Orlando, Florida 32835. The event is open to the public and scheduled for Tuesday, May 7, 2024, at 9:30 AM.

In our last update, we observed a notable shift in the polls towards President Biden, a movement we suggested might be ephemeral. At Kaplan Strategies, we pride ourselves on delivering insightful market analysis while acknowledging the fluid nature of political trends.

In the lead-up to the State of the Union, a sophisticated media narrative focused on President Biden’s age and the speculation of his potential exit from the race. This created a scenario where Biden, by simply delivering a satisfactory performance, could exceed the low expectations and appear comparatively presidential. His speech, although not exceptional, was thus framed as a significant success due to this clever lowering of the bar by his party.

Further impacting the polls are the currents within the Republican party. The emergence of disaffected voters from the DeSantis camp, some of whom are drifting towards unlikely candidates like RFK or choosing to abstain, represents a critical shift. Meanwhile, Nikki Haley’s withdrawal from the race seems to have scattered her support, challenging the assumption that her backers would automatically pivot to Biden.

Governor Ron DeSantis, while not meeting all expectations, has nonetheless influenced President Trump’s campaign, compelling him to allocate considerable resources early on—mirroring the dynamic between Santorum and Romney in 2012, which ultimately benefited Obama.

Moreover, the unexpected candidacy of Robert Kennedy Jr. has introduced a wildcard into the race. His campaign is not to be underestimated; he has garnered a tangible base, drawing some of the disenchanted vote, thereby affecting Trump’s numbers more than Biden’s at this stage.

Another factor to consider is the potential impact of Cornell West’s candidacy. Though not widely viewed as a leading contender, any diversion of the African American vote from Biden could be consequential.

Lastly, we are revisiting our initial forecasts on voter turnout. Interest levels currently suggest that turnout may surpass 2012 but may not reach the heights of 2016 or 2020. This adjustment in prediction points to a battle of turnout in the swing states, with the efficiency of campaign organizations becoming increasingly crucial.

To complicate matters further, President Trump’s ongoing legal challenges add another layer of unpredictability to the race. Legal experts from both sides question the fairness of the timing and venue of these proceedings, adding to the uncertainty of the electoral outcome.

In conclusion, the race remains highly fluid. Each development, each strategic play by the candidates, and every shift in public sentiment informs our understanding of this complex electoral mosaic. As always, we will continue to monitor these changes and provide updates on the potential ramifications for the presidential race.
