Democrats, outnumbered by Republicans among registered voters for the first time in a general election in modern Florida, basically are being cast into political exile in the state.
Miami definitely matters
DeSantis didn’t even pay that much attention to Crist during the campaign. Instead, the Republican’s steady portrayal of the Biden administration as pushing socialist policies and his get-tough policies on undocumented immigrants found a ready audience among Miami-Dade Hispanic voters. Former President Donald Trump’s rally in Miami on Sunday was followed by a DeSantis gathering in Hialeah on Election Eve.
COVID-19 added more to the state’s population. And redistricting this year amped-up the GOP’s muscle, with state House, Senate and congressional districts created that expanded Republican reach. Still, after Trump’s sweep of Biden in Florida in 2020, some experts predicted that Democrats would re-evaluate the state. And this election season, little money, staff or know-how was sent to Florida from national Democrats and their allies.
But with Trump poised to announce his own White House plans for 2024 as early as next week, DeSantis’ political life has gotten very complicated going forward. A special session he called in May did little to stem the tide of insurers leaving the state, driving up costs for homeowners and businesses.
