REPORT: Florida Has Turned So Red That it Could be 25 Years Before Democrats Are Even Competitive Again within the State | The Gateway Pundit

Florida used to be considered a swing state but it doesn’t really look like that anymore.

Republicans have dominated elections in Florida in recent years and the state just keeps getting redder. One Democrat consultant there recently suggested that it could be 25 years before the Democrats are even competitive again in the state.

In the 2024 election, Trump and Republicans even managed to flip the historically blue Miami-Dade County red. Is there any wonder why Democrats in Florida keep flipping to the GOP?

Breitbart News reports:

Florida Democrat Consultant: Making Democrats Competitive in Sunshine State May Take 25 Years

It may take 25 years for Democrats to be competitive in Florida once again, one Florida Democrat consultant said, concluding that the solution is “slow, long-term and sucks.”

It is no mystery that Republicans have taken over Florida as a whole, essentially removing Florida’s historic swing state status from the list in the last presidential election. This is the same state that swung for former President Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012, only to flip for Trump in the three consecutive presidential elections.

And the margins only continued to grow, as Trump won Florida by 1.2 percent in 2016, 3.3 percent in 2020, and 13.1 percent in 2024. Stunningly, Florida Republicans did not even have a voter registration advantage in the Sunshine State until November 2021, when Gov. Ron DeSantis first announced the historic achievement. From then on, the growth — thought by some to boom due to Florida’s free status in a world of ongoing draconian coronavirus mandates — has exploded for Republicans, as they now surpass Democrats in terms of voter registration by well over one million voters.

This was huge and should worry Democrats.

There were warning signs for Democrats in early November.

I’m inside the official Kamala Harris ‘rally’ going on right now in Tampa, Florida.

Hillary Clinton is about to take the stage. The tiny event room is half-empty. There are *maybe* 200 people here.

There is zero energy. Lots of staff panic.

This is a dying campaign… WATCH: pic.twitter.com/90cKLlqX6c

In future elections, we will hear slogans like ‘Keep Florida red.’
