How did DeSantis flip Miami-Dade from blue to red? Did he spread some Ron DeSantis fairy dust over the county?

Was that the same county that Pres Trump was holding rallies for with Rubio? I one showed up for them because DeSantis had already spread his fairy dust, I guess.

Or maybe, just maybe, the folks of Miami-Dade can think for themselves. They’re smart enough to recognize how good things were 2 years before. Yes, DeSantis deserves a great deal of credit.

But, man the worship of a man who has the entire deck stacked in his favor is bordering on weird.

How did DeSantis flip Miami-Dade from blue to red?

He had a consistent practical conservative message without gaffes. He was attractive to Hispanic voters and persuaded them to vote Republican.

Some of Republicans’ biggest gains came in Hispanic-majority areas around Miami and Orlando. DeSantis has said that many of those newcomers were drawn by his decision to reopen schools and businesses in July 2020, far earlier than most states, joining the ranks of his supporters.

“We benefited from the flow of people into Florida during the pandemic,” said Ryan Tyson, the governor’s senior political adviser.

“We have beaten Democrats on new registrants for 29 months in a row,” said Tyson, who worked on the voter registration efforts.
