As such, if things continue on their current trajectory, Republican voters in Florida will outnumber Democrats by the time 2022 rolls around. This new shift in favor of the GOP will also arrive right in time for the Florida gubernatorial election and the 2022 midterms.
Shifting Florida from a battleground or purple state to a red state will have significant implications on the nation as a whole.
A rejection of leftist policies?
When California Governor Gavin Newsom won the recall election meant to toss him out of office, Democrats cheered. They lauded Newsom’s victory as an overall embrace of leftist policies involving government control, stringent mandates, etc.
However, the reality of Florida turning red speaks volumes. It shows that leftist policies are not embraced nationwide, despite wishful thinking from the Democrats. Florida shifting from a battleground state to a red state shows that there are still Americans who value freedom, liberty, and conservatism.
Right now, things are looking good for Florida Republicans. Florida Democrats’ dwindling lead of voter registration numbers definitely has leftists concerned. All things considered, it appears the Sunshine State will remain under GOP control for quite some time to come.
