Democrats in Florida face formidable challenges.
This is Greg C. Truax with OnThePoint.
The challenges are beyond fundraising disparities with Republicans.
Two critical realities: The state’s voters are increasingly voting for Republican candidates, giving the GOP what’s known as the “Big Mo.”
This momentum sees Republicans holding all four statewide elected offices, both U.S. Senate seats, super majorities in the state legislature, a majority in the Congressional delegation.
Additionally, a dramatic shift in voter registration now favors Republicans – today with a 780,000 advantage over Democrats — a stark reversal from a decade ago, when Democrats led by 488,000.
Robust GOP fundraising, impressive election wins, and a growing lead in voter registrations offer the obvious: Florida has finally transitioned from a purple swing state into Republican red. This is Greg C. Truax.
