5 years ago in 2016 Florida was the biggest swing state and the state everyone would always be in pins and needles for the results. Hillary was favored to win it up until Election Day.
3 years ago it appeared as if Andrew Guilium would be elected governor as he led in virtually every major poll leading up to Election Day.
In the last 3-5 years the state that was the biggest swing state for almost two decades has shifted dramatically to the right. Republicans have overtaken the registered voters over democrats and the states voted almost 9 points to the right of the county in 2020. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised to see desantis and Rubio win by close to 10 points next year.
Would you say Trump or Desantis played a bigger role in the states rightward shift or was it something else?
Because there hasn’t been a demographic change. The state has always had a high number of white people and people who moved from the northeast and Midwest along with a big Latino community and healthy black population in certain areas. So demographics is not the reason for the shift.
