Since 2020, it began a rapid rise.<\/p>\n<p>This year, Florida beat out Nevada, which has been the fastest-growing state for 36 of the last 76 years.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, a report found that more than 600,000 people <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/report-more-than-600k-people-leaving-new-york-and-california-for-lower-taxed-states\">fled<\/a> New York and California for lower-taxed states during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The population figures show people \u201cvoting with their feet\u201d for the quality of life they perceive in the Sunshine State, and represent another achievement for Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), on top of his re-election during this year\u2019s election cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Florida rejected draconian coronavirus measures. Its schools were open while states like New York remained shuttered. Liberal states that closed their schools saw drops of up to 9% in the number of fourth-graders proficient in reading, while Florida was one of four states whose reading scores <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/blue-vs-red-2022-test-scores-show-devastating-toll-of-school-shutdowns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">actually increased<\/a> during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Data indicates that school closure length <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/only-2-of-childrens-deaths-were-from-covid-and-school-closures-didnt-reduce-the-number\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">didn\u2019t correlate<\/a> with children dying of coronavirus, either.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis campaign spokesman Christina Pushaw <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChristinaPushaw\/status\/1605577366071234561\">tweeted<\/a> this week that Democrat-run states were continuing to make those unpopular choices. \u201cKids in Democrat-run districts like Philadelphia and Passaic, NJ are being force-masked in schools again.
