More crushing letdowns for Florida Democrats
While Florida Democrats trail DeSantis in hypothesized general election matchups, additional hardships confront their party.
In South Florida, Democrats are having significant issues with finding candidates to put on the congressional ballots. This is especially applicable to the 26th and 27th districts of the Sunshine State.
In 2021, Florida Democrats also lost the voter registration advantage they enjoyed over Republicans. Under DeSantis’ leadership, Florida has seen massive numbers of people moving into the state.
