Now that DeSantis is off the national campaign trail and will be solely focused on business in the Sunshine State, Florida Democrats are starting to panic. 

DeSantis won reelection in 2022 by a landslide, breaking records and turning the state ruby red in favor of Republicans. He overwhelmingly won Miami Dade County, which typically goes to Democrats. As the New York Times reported at the time: 

Ron DeSantis won a second term as Florida’s governor in a rout on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, cementing Republicans’ grip on power in a state that was once a premier battleground as well as his own reputation as a top contender for the presidency.

Mr. DeSantis became governor four years ago in a contest so narrowly decided, by a mere 32,463 votes, that it required a recount. This time, he clobbered Charlie Crist, a Democratic former representative and governor with wide name recognition in the state.

The magnitude of Mr. DeSantis’s victory was difficult to overstate. Unofficial results showed him ahead by nearly 20 percentage points on Tuesday night, easily the largest margin by a Republican candidate for governor in modern Florida history. Former Gov. Jeb Bush won by 13 points in 2002.

Unlike past statewide candidates, who moderated their positions to appeal to the center of a divided electorate, Mr. DeSantis campaigned as an unapologetic culture warrior willing to fight the “woke left” and as a brash executive eager to defy public health experts during the coronavirus pandemic.
