1) South Florida Hispanics: Dems very poor at appealing to this group (that is very diverse within itself). Some hate the socialist slogans coming from AOC- hard to think of any individual who has cost the Dems here more than her. That being said, many Cubans would love to set up a right wing junta to fight the commies and many have fantasies about doing it here in America.
2) Type of Florida transplants: A lot of WWC from midwest moving to Lee, Pasco, Polk, Volusia type places. These exurban counties are very large and growing and can offset Dem gains in Orlando, Jax and Tampa. With Miami metro moving right, the numbers just don't work for Dems. The Atlanta exurbs have nothing like this and neither do any in Texas. NC has some of these types of counties between Charlotte and Greensboro but they are smaller in scale than Florida.
3) Weak state party: We know the story.
4) People with problems: This might sound controversial but Florida gets a lot of America's problematic people. The Trump movement is a big attraction for the mentally ill and they have found a home in the sunshine state.
