GOP registration advantage over Democrats in Florida close to 1 million

Despite Florida Democrats’ hopes to win over voters on abortion, the state’s registered Republican voters now outpace Democrats by nearly 900,000.

“Prior to 2021, FL never had more registered Republicans than Democrats,” Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said on Twitter. “Now, a million voter R registration advantage is within reach. Hillsborough (Tampa) is about to flip from D to R, which will mean every county in the Tampa Bay market has an R advantage in this previously “swing” region of the state.”
