Rather than simply making America great again, Ron DeSantis is bent on making America Florida. That rallying-call should send shivers down any Democrat’s spine
become such hostile territory for Democrats? One partial explanation could be that more Republicans than Democrats moved to the state when covid-19 hit. Of the 394,000 voters who flocked to Florida between March 2020 and November 2022—adding to the state’s 14m—49% were Republicans and 25% Democrats.
But when the Democrats jetted off to Washington to toast their win they never returned, says Fernand Amandi, a consultant for the campaign. Door-knocking and voter-registration drives came to a halt. Hillary Clinton, who lost Florida in 2016, swapped bus tours in rural swing counties for big rallies in safe cities. And leadership chaos distracted the party. Since 2014 thehas been through five chairpeople.
The party’s negligence also alienated donors. John Morgan, a well-known lawyer who has given many millions to Democrats, sees no one in the party capable of winning statewide office in Florida. “My money is deep, deep in my pockets right now,” he says. Nor is the national party chipping in. In last year’s midterm campaign national Democratic groups spent less than $2m in Florida, down from nearly $60m in 2018.
