Governor Ron DeSantis celebrated big news for Republicans when he learned of a massive red wave in his home state of Florida.
For the first time in history, there are now more registered Republican voters than Democrats in the state of Florida.
“When I got elected governor we had 280,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans in the state of Florida,” Gov. Ron DeSantis said.
“Today, and it will probably be fully publicized very soon, for the first time in the history of Florida we have overtaken Democrats. There are more registered Republicans in Florida than Democrats.”
“Once these areas go deep blue they get destroyed,” DeSantis said.
“How many places that are deep blue are well governed in this country? Can you name me some?”
“Tell me where you can find this success story of ‘woke progressivism’ imposed on a people,” the governor continued. “I don’t see it.”
The Republican Party of Florida’s executive director, Helen Aguirre Ferré, explained, “The level of enthusiasm in support of registering Republicans is unprecedented, and this is a true milestone moment in Florida’s history.”

The crowd applauded Gov. DeSantis, who then joked that Republicans would have won the tightly contested New Jersey gubernatorial race if the state’s Republicans hadn’t moved to Florida.
DeSantis explained that Republicans are fleeing to Florida to escape coronavirus restrictions, lawlessness, crime, and other factors…
DeSantis also explained that Democrats have not governed well in the parts of the country they control.
In 2008, registered Democrats outnumbered Republicans by almost 700,000 voters but that gap has narrowed every year since 2012, according to Miami Herald. This September, Democrats had a lead of only 24,000 voters.
