Florida Republicans, after years of historic gains and steady growth, now surpass registered Democrats by one million voters, the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) announced over the weekend.
The Florida GOP announced the milestone, asserting that “Republican leadership cements Florida’s deep RED status” after years of elections with the status as a purple swing state. The press release attributed the historic achievement, in part, to “the strong leadership of President Donald J. Trump, Governor Ron DeSantis and key Republican officials,” including among those, “Attorney General Ashley Moody, Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, House Speaker Paul Renner, Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, Senate President-designate Ben Albritton, and Speaker-designate Danny Perez.”
Evan Power, chairman of the RPOF, said the success of Florida Republicans goes far beyond voter registration numbers.
