If DeSantis is the nominee, Republicans will win but over 5. If it is someone else, no.

Probably not. Maybe if Mitt Romney was the nominee, sure.
Mitt Romney lost Florida in 2012. There are many stronger GOP candidates for the state.

Yes. I'll even go so far as to say I'll be very surprised if it's not within 3 points. For now, I believe 2020 was an anomaly.

It's clear, though, that something has changed in Florida. For some reason, between 2016 and 2018, it went from consistently being about 3 points to the right of the nation to consistently being about 7 points to the right of the nation, and it's not really clear to me why.
I think FL is just destined to be Lean R. The state voted 5-7% to the left of the nation in 2010/14, and 3-4% to the right in 2004/08/12/16, and 7-8% to the right in 2018/20.
