Editorials and columns

Florida, you might have heard, is no longer a swing state. Since Ron DeSantis became governor, Republicans have gained nearly 2 million registered voters on Democrats in the Sunshine State. It is an astonishing change in partisanship for the state that famously decided the 2000 presidential election by 537 votes. The outcome of the statewide races in Florida this November, such as those for governor and U.S. senator, are therefore not in much doubt.
