Republican voter registrations in Florida have been rising for years, a trend that began after Ron DeSantis became governor, and now GOP voters in the Sunshine State outnumber Democrats by an amount that suggests it’s no longer an electoral “battleground.”

According to the Tallahassee Democrat, a local news outlet, “With another presidential election year taking shape, Florida’s reputation as the nation’s biggest battleground state has faded: Republicans now hold the biggest advantage in voter registration either major party has held in almost four decades.”

The outlet reported that the Republican Party in Florida currently has an 851,417-voter lead, the largest gap between the parties since Democrats dominated by over 854,000 votes in 1988.

The Florida presidential primary on Tuesday was mostly meaningless as the rematch of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump is already set for November, making the state an afterthought in this year’s presidential contest.
