Here are some of the numbers showing just how strong their performance was:<\/p>\n<p>1,474,618 \u2014 That&#8217;s the difference between DeSantis&#8217;s 2018 and 2022 margins of victory. DeSantis beat Democrat Charlie Crist by a whopping 1.5 million votes Tuesday, just four years after his 30,000-vote victory over Democrat Andrew Gillum.<\/p>\n<p>62 \u2014 That&#8217;s how many counties DeSantis carried out of 67. He lost nearly triple that number of counties\u201413\u2014in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>2002 \u2014 That&#8217;s the year Republicans last won a majority of voters in historically blue Miami-Dade County. DeSantis carried the county by double digits Tuesday, just six years after Democrat Hillary Clinton won it by 30 points in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>150 \u2014 That&#8217;s roughly how many years it&#8217;s been since Republicans last held all statewide elected positions in Florida, a milestone the party achieved Tuesday night for the first time since the Reconstruction era. At that time, in the early-to-mid 1870s, Republican Marcellus Stearns led the state as governor following his party mate Ossian B. Hart&#8217;s death in 1874. The state&#8217;s Senate delegation, meanwhile, consisted of Republicans Simon B. Conover and Abijah Gilbert before Democrat Charles W. Jones&#8217;s election in 1875.<\/p>\n<p>35 \u2014 That&#8217;s how many days it took to determine a winner in Florida&#8217;s 2000 presidential election. On Tuesday, the Associated Press called the race for DeSantis one hour after polls closed.<\/p>\n<p>28 and 85 \u2014 That&#8217;s the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.islandernews.com\/news\/florida\/fl-republicans-gain-supermajorities-in-both-the-state-house-and-senate\/article_9e8cfaca-602e-11ed-ac60-33cee39fccbe.html\">number of seats Republicans hold<\/a> in the state Senate and House out of 40 and 120 respectively, giving them a veto-proof margin in both chambers that significantly limits Democrats&#8217; legislative power.<\/p>\n<p>15 \u2014 That&#8217;s how many hours it took for the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida to <a href=\"https:\/\/progressivefl.org\/the-democratic-progressive-caucus-of-florida-demands-the-immediate-resignation-of-the-chair-of-the-florida-democratic-party\/\">call for Florida Democratic Party chair Manny Diaz&#8217;s resignation<\/a> following Tuesday night&#8217;s result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida Republicans enjoyed historic wins Tuesday night, both at the top of the ticket and down the ballot.<br \/>\nThe post Florida Republicans\u2019 Historic Performance, By the Numbers appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":1732531,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1732528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1732528","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/176"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1732528"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1732528\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1732531"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1732528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1732528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1732528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
