Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) defeated Democrat challenger Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL) by over 1.5 million votes!
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis defeated Democrat challenger Rep. Charlie Crist by over 1.5 million votes, representing a drastic shift from his victory in 2018, when he won the governorship by 32, 463 votes or less than half a percentage point.
The race was called Tuesday evening for DeSantis, who soundly defeated his challenger. On Wednesday morning with over 95 percent of the vote in, DeSantis led Crist with 59.4 percent of the vote to Crist’s 40 percent .4,076,186 votes to Gillum’s 4,043,723 statewide — a difference of 32,463 votes. Perhaps most stunning is the fact that DeSantis took traditionally blue counties this time around. Some of the most significant gains made for Republicans occurred in traditionally blue Miami-Dade. Democrat Andrew Gillum took that county in 2018 by over ten percent. But this time around, DeSantis bested Crist in the county by 11 percent.
