Former US Rep Chris Collins, who was pardoned by former president Donald Trump, is reportedly contemplating a run for Congress in Florida.

The former representative, who pleaded guilty in 2019 to conspiracy to commit securities fraud, told WGRZ’s Scott Levin that he is planning to run for the seat currently held by Rep Byron Donalds

Well, if anyone has a chance in the failing fascist hellhole state of Florida, it's an old white Republican man with a criminal history.

If Mr Collins were to win election to the House in Florida, he would be the first person to represent two different states in Congress in more than five decades.
