    Desantis was re-elected with almost 60% of the vote. Trump did only win by less than 2% but turnout was almost 30% lower in 2022 than it was in 2020.

      He won by less than a percentage point in 2018. When he ran against Charlie Crist in 2022 he won with close to 60%, but that was more about Crist being a garbage candidate who stumped for Sarah Palin happily in 2008 but decided the Republican party was irredeemable in 2010 (after he lost a Republican primary to Marco Rubio). Run someone who isn’t a transparent hack against DeSantis and he’s totally beatable, even with Florida voters.
