Desantis at the time was a relatively unknown politician in Florida, he was a congressman in a deep red district in North Florida, he had defeated an establishment Republican from the Jeb Bush mold in the primary which angered a lot of Republicans.
The number of registered Democrats in Florida slightly outnumbered Republicans at the time of the election, the turnaround was just getting into high gear at the time.
Andrew Gillum was the next coming of Obama, Mayor of Tallahassee who had defeated a well-known Democrat in the primary, he had not only the statewide media behind him, he also had the national media behind him.
DeSantis held on and won by a very small margin, but he was ripe for a loss considering all the issues at the time.
Gillum would have been an absolute disaster as governor. The left just doesn’t care about morals, ethics, honesty, etc. as they only care about winning in order to gain power and access to the public treasury. The dem party at heart is basically a criminal organization masquerading as a political party.
Yes all true. Then Gollum got busted going to a gay orgy at a hotel....the supposed “family man”. Then the feds came knocking and wanted to know about his massive corruption while mayor of Tally.
