Florida 2022 Megathread

Fr what would y'all's reaction be if DeSantis actually loses? Would be hilarious especially if there's still a red wave elsewhere in the country lol Atlas would be like FL is Safe D now?!

I'd definitely be surprised to see him lose, but it would fit in with the trend of Republicans' percentage margins of victory decreasing in every election since 2002: Bush+12.8% to Crist+7.1% to Scott+1.2% to Scott+1% to DeSantis+0.4%. I think it'd be even funnier if DeSantis lost by less than he won in 2018, making Florida titanium tilt D for this one election.

Christ would need to have ran on local issues that DeSantis is weak on in order to topple him during a national R wave. But yes let's see if/when this decreasing R margin of victory cycle ends....

True, true, but notably the biggest drop-off in R support was from a national D wave to a national R wave. (But that was probably more due to the more popular Crist and the more polarizing Scott being the candidates in those years.)
