It's scary how South Carolina is more of a battle ground state than Florida. Also I'm always amazed at how the folks in Illinois understand the importance of unions but states like Michigan and Wisconsin who are union states vote against their own interest sometimes.

Down state Illinois is almost as red as some of these southern states politically. Chicago and some suburbs be holding down the state.

Retired white Republicans moved to Florida and decisively flipped the state. Cuban Americans also played a crucial role in driving this change.

Note that Andrew Gillum, a FAMU grad, nearly won the governor's race against DeSantis. It was a battleground state. Now, it is reliably republican.

Yes, I too see it as a case of White republicans moving to the state.
