Laten we de euforische berichten over Florida in de rechtse pers eens links liggen, en ons wenden tot de poco pers:

NBC: Why Florida Latinos turned out in favor of Republicans

MIAMI — Florida Democrats are reeling and coming to terms with devastating Election Day losses, particularly among Latino voters who turned out solidly for Republicans in statewide contests.

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis won the state with a stunning 59% of the vote, compared to Democrat Charlie Crist's 40%. DeSantis outperformed former President Donald Trump’s 2020 Latino gains in Florida. DeSantis won 58% of the Latino vote, including 68% of Cuban Americans, 56% of Puerto Ricans, and 53% of all other Latinos combined, according to the NBC News exit poll. It was a jump from the 2018 results, when DeSantis narrowly beat Democrat Andrew Gillum by less than half a point, with 44% of the Latino vote.

Most Republicans running in the state won by large margins, turning Florida into a solid red state. Both chambers of the state legislature have supermajorities.

The New Yorker: There Is No One Story About Latino Voters

Compared with the close results in other parts of the country, what happened in Florida was an unmitigated disaster for Democrats. Governor Ron DeSantis won the Latino vote outright, and not only among anti-communists. He won sixty-eight per cent of the Cuban vote, but also fifty-five per cent of the Puerto Rican vote and fifty per cent of votes from “other Latinos” (Venezuelans, Colombians, Mexicans, etc.). He was the first Republican in decades to win Miami-Dade County, and, as many have observed, Florida is now a solid red state rather than a swing state. If Republicans end up winning the House, it will owe in part to the newly elected Latina Republicans from Florida, such as the Air Force veteran Anna Paulina Luna, who won the seat vacated by DeSantis’s Democratic opponent, Charlie Crist.
