    Desantis was re-elected with almost 60% of the vote. Trump did only win by less than 2% but turnout was almost 30% lower in 2022 than it was in 2020.

      He won by less than a percentage point in 2018. When he ran against Charlie Crist in 2022 he won with close to 60%, but that was more about Crist being a garbage candidate who stumped for Sarah Palin happily in 2008 but decided the Republican party was irredeemable in 2010 (after he lost a Republican primary to Marco Rubio). Run someone who isn’t a transparent hack against DeSantis and he’s totally beatable, even with Florida voters.

        Maybe but the one thing I’ve learned in my time as an American is that any time you’re counting on Florida for anything, you’re gonna be very disappointed.
