"Florida is becoming the power nexus for the country. It's where decisions will get made," says Bill Helmich, a lobbyist and close Trump ally, indicating a significant shift in political influence.
Evan Power, chair of the Florida GOP, states, "Florida is now the epicenter of Trumplandia," highlighting the geographical shift of lobbying power towards Florida as crucial for influence.
"Never before, lobbyists say, has the geographic center of power shifted so dramatically with the arrival of a new administration. Palm Beach is going to be the new K Street," emphasizing the importance of Florida for lobbying.
"We can't do this the same old way," says a prominent lobbyist. "Trump is such a wild card, and that gives him a lot of leverage." This indicates the challenges lobbyists face in the new political climate.
