Today, we have close to 900,000 more registered Republicans than Democrats. So you\u2019re talking about a million plus voter registration shift.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd yes, part of that, I think is a response locally, where people are more likely to switch from Democrat to Republican in Florida, non party to Republican than vice versa and that\u2019s been an important component of it,\u201d he continued. \u201cBut I do think that migration has skewed amongst people who come to Florida, not because they want to change the policies to reflect in Illinois, or California or New York, but because they appreciate how Florida has done it different from where they\u2019re coming to. And so I think that\u2019s contributed to this really record thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFlorida is off the board,\u201d he added. \u201cIt is a Republican state, you\u2019ve covered politics. We used to be a one point state, every election hung on how would Florida go, that is not true anymore. And and I think that\u2019s a good thing for the party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a weekend interview, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis shared that his efforts as governor transformed the state from a swing state to a GOP stronghold for the 2024 presidential race.
