Charlie Crist by a whopping 20 points, the biggest margin in any Florida gubernatorial race <em>in 40 years.<\/em> And no Florida gov running for re-election over that time ever improved on his initial vote by more than 3 points; DeSantis\u2019 20-point spread was up from a mere 0.4 point margin in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>He <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/11\/08\/desantis-heads-to-second-term-in-florida\/\">also took<\/a> heavily Hispanic Miami-Dade County, the first GOP gov candidate to do so in 20 years, winning 55% of the vote. That\u2019s the largest margin in <em>40 years.<\/em> Oh, and 65% of voters in majority-Hispanic precincts backed him, a huge achievement for a Republican. <\/p>\n<p>DeSantis is right: The results prove he <em>earned <\/em>voters\u2019 support by making Florida \u201ca refuge of sanity when the world went mad,\u201d particularly during the pandemic. He <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/10\/24\/desantis-rips-lockdown-new-york-and-california-while-touting-florida-state-exam-results\/\">took great heat for bucking<\/a> federal COVID advice, keeping schools and businesses open and opposing mandates. And, yes, by maintaining \u201claw and order,\u201d protecting parents\u2019 rights and respecting taxpayers.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s right, too, to see his policies as a model for the nation as Americans in states and cities run by \u201cleftist politicians\u201d have seen crime \u201cskyrocket,\u201d taxpayers \u201cabused,\u201d \u201cauthoritarianism imposed\u201d and \u201cAmerican principles discarded.\u201d Many have \u201cvoted with their feet,\u201d fleeing to . . .
