As talk of a Trump-Biden showdown continues in key battleground states, the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) has announced that Florida is a “deep red” state. But it’s notable that Florida is not participating in this conversation for obvious reasons, according to the Florida Republican Party.
After Nikki Haley withdrew from the Republican primary after Super Tuesday, former President Donald Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee. Growing concerns about President Joe Biden’s physical and mental health have led to some speculation about his political future, but all signs point to a Trump vs. Biden rematch. .

So all eyes are on the swing states. Poll after poll is conducted, and these “battleground states” typically include Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, and Michigan. Several recent polls have shown Trump, not Biden, in the lead, which is a great sign for Republicans heading into November. But Florida is absent from these articles analyzing “battleground state” polls. Florida was once considered a solidly purple state, given its relatively back-and-forth history.
Florida has voted blue four times in presidential elections since 1976, for Jimmy Carter in 1976, Bill Clinton in 1996, and Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. I got it. In recent history, all of these elections have been fairly close. For example, in 2012, Mr. Obama won the state by less than 1 percentage point. Trump defeated Clinton in Florida in 2016 by 1.2 percentage points, and his 2020 victory was even bigger with a 3.3 percentage point margin.
But since then, Florida has experienced a boom in Republican registration. In November 2021, Republicans outnumbered Democrats for the first time in Florida’s history, and that lead has only continued to grow over the past four years.
As Breitbart News reported, documented:
From that moment on, Republicans only continued to expand their lead. fall down Just a few months later, in March 2022, the Democratic Party had a lead of more than 100,000 people.That number is doubled By July, this number will reach 200,000 people, and by December 2022, this number will rise to 200,000 people. was standing Approximately 350,000. In February 2023, the Republican Party outnumbered Among the registered voters, there were 400,000 Democrats, and that number had grown to 683,030 as of October 31, 2023, while there were 5,153,695 Republican voters and 4,473,665 Democrats.
As of this year, Republican voters outnumber registered Democrats by more than 850,000, giving them a significant advantage heading into the presidential election. Moreover, Republicans picked up on this trend in the midterm elections, with even Miami-Dade leaning red. This phenomenon can be attributed, at least in part, to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ response to the coronavirus pandemic in the Sunshine State.
As such, while Florida has historically been considered a purple state, it is now a “solid red state” following what RPOF describes as a “2022 Republican red wave.” It concludes that “Floridians reject the progressive policies advocated by the Biden Democratic Party.” ”
Florida Republican Party Chairman Evan Power further elaborated on the phenomenon in an exclusive statement to Breitbart News.
“In 2020, Trump won Florida by 3.3 percentage points when Democrats led with more than 100,000 registered voters. In 2024, Republicans lead Democrats by more than 854,318 votes. Imagine what that will bring in November!” He gave a preview and made it clear that Republican momentum is not slowing down either.
“Florida Democrats are toast, but we cannot let confidence stand in the way of our hard work to deliver Florida’s electors to President Trump.”
“Americans cannot afford another four years of a Biden Democrat who crippled our economy and endangered our national security. That’s why Republican voter registration is up,” Power said during the Trump administration. I continued while remembering.
“We all remember the great years under Trump, which brought us tax cuts, a revival of American manufacturing, energy independence, a vibrant economy, and a secure border,” Power said. “We are ready to make history again!”
