Under Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida has become a major Republican stronghold, with Democrats constantly losing across-the-board. But ahead of November, the latter party is counting on a wild card to increase their influence in the Sunshine State— Black voters.
During the last election cycle, during the 2022 midterms, Black voter turnout was down significantly. In fact, that year showed one of the lowest Black voter turnout across the country, with 10.9% of voters being Black compared to 73% being white, according to Brookings.
