In the same social media platform, Snoop Dogg tweeted a link to an article by Merry Jane. It’s called “Florida’s Most Outspoken Legal Weed Advocate is Considering a Run for Governor in 2018”.

Could this kind of celebrity support actually help Morgan win in a state like Florida?

Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton thought something similar in 2016.

She had all-star celebrities like Beyoncé perform at her campaign rallies. It didn’t work out for her.

On the other hand, President Donald Trump won as a celebrity.

In other words, the jury’s still out. Morgan’s celebrity could either hurt or help him. But, a rock-solid platform coupled with that name ID star-power could paint a different picture.

As it is, Morgan is already the shining knight of legal weed in Florida.  The state supported his amendment by 70%.This was also the same electorate which elected Trump in November.

In addition, he’s been talking about another possible amendment to raise the minimum wage. That’s something Sanders liberals can get behind.
