Florida voters rejected an abortion rights amendment and kept in place Gov. Ron DeSantis’ six-week ban as the initiative failed to reach the required 60 percent threshold. The measure faced an uphill battle in the deeply red state where former President Donald Trump, a Florida resident, said during the campaign that he would vote against it. In comparison to 2020, nearly all of Florida has moved right during this presidential election cycle. Miami-Dade County saw the greatest increase, with an 18 percentage point shift right. It was enough to move the county from the Democrats’ column in 2020 to the Republicans’ this year. Florida is the third-biggest prize of the night in electoral votes, but Trump’s win is no surprise since Florida has been trending Republican for the past decade. The last Democrat to carry Florida was Barack Obama in 2012, but it since has slipped decidedly into GOP ranks in statewide elections. Read more about Florida voters rejecting abortion rights.
