DeSantis wins huge

Most people were expecting Ron DeSantis to be re-elected Governor of Florida, but not by a massiv2 20% margin. Florida is (or was) a swing purple state.

In 2018, DeSantis won by 0.4%. In 2014 it was a 1.0% margin. In 2010 just 1.2%.

DeSantis won all but five of the 60+ counties. He won in rural areas by 39%, in suburbs by 17% and in cities by 11%,

He won with men by 27% but also won women by 5%.

But what makes him so attractive to the GOP as a whole is he won Latinos by 15% – 67% to 42%. And he won with both Latino men (14%) and Latino women (17%). This wasn’t just Cuban Americans. He won Puerto Ricans in Florida by 11%.

He did narrowly lose with under 40s, but his margin with over 50s was 25% or so.

And finally he won college educated voters by 9% and non college educated by 20%.

The GOP would be nuts not to select him as their presidential candidate in 2024.
