Mid term elections vs presidential election cycles are different, less people vote in mid terms.
The fact that DeSantis did so well in Florida is remarkable.
“Mid term elections vs presidential election cycles are different, less people vote in mid terms.”
I understand this, but if DeSantis did so great, greatest ever, he should have come within a million votes of Trump totals?
In 2018 gov race (DeSantis weakest turnout) and Trump 2016 race there was around 500,000 vote total difference. The next election for both, Trump beat DeSantis (largest vote total) by over a million.
