How Hispanic voters helped DeSantis clinch massive victory in Florida

Published November 10, 2022 12:00am ET



Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis made significant gains with Hispanic voters during the 2022 midterm election, helping push the Republican incumbent to victory and secure a second term in office.

DeSantis had a 15-point advantage with Hispanic voters over Democratic challenger Charlie Crist, with 57% of Latinos voting for the Republican governor, compared to 42% for Crist, according to ABC News. Those numbers show significant growth among the voting bloc compared to the 2018 election when Democrat Andrew Gillum won among Hispanic voters by 10 points over DeSantis.
