Gov. Ron DeSantis said many of the people who fled to Florida to escape strict lockdown measures in blue states have registered as Republicans, even if they were previously Democrats.

“So it’s interesting with Florida, like, the media at the beginning of this said, ‘Florida is bad,’ and I think it’s because they wanted to damage Trump in Florida, wanted to damage me, so they just kept saying it was bad, even though the facts didn’t say it,” he said during a town hall event on Fox News’s Hannity.
