Over the last 25 years, Florida has gone from a major presidential election swing state to regular Republican dominance. Not only have Florida Democrats largely been in retreat for years, but Florida is literally the home of former President Donald Trump, who declared residency there in 2019 and is running his election campaign out of Mar-a-Lago.
The fact that the GOP base prefers them coming from Trump over DeSantis doesn’t mean that they’re going to be a winner in the general election. There’s also the matter of the 155,000 Florida Republicans who voted for former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley in the state’s primary after she suspended her campaign for the nomination. Unlike many of her fellow also-rans, Haley hasn’t endorsed Trump, and he’s made almost no effort to try to win over her supporters.
