<p>Florida Democrats are waving the white flag just two weeks before the November 8 midterm elections.</p>
<p>Numerous indicators in a new report from Politico show that Democrats no longer believe that Florida is a state where they can be competitive after Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has transformed the state from a Right-leaning purple swing-state to a red stronghold in only a few years.</p>
<p>Politico&#8217;s <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/10/27/florida-democrats-facing-brutal-midterms-00063666">report</a> highlighted the following red flags for Democrats in the state:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>The Democratic Governors Association spent just $685,000 this election cycle. It gave $14 million to Florida in the past two governor races.</li>
<li>Big outside donor money has almost completely dried up. New York billionaire Michael Bloomberg contributed only $1.5 million to Democrats this cycle. He vowed $100 million to Florida in 2020.</li>
<li>Polling shows Republicans making headway in Miami-Dade County, which has long been a blue stronghold.</li>
<li>Democrats have collectively raised $29 million in the four non-federal statewide races. Republicans raised nearly $200 million.</li>
</ul>

<p>DeSantis won the state in 2018 against now-<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-democrat-andrew-gillum-charged-with-21-felonies-related-to-campaign-that-lost-to-desantis">criminally charged</a> Democrat Andrew Gillum, who is facing 21 felony counts, by less than half a percentage point. Former President Donald Trump won the state in 2016 by 1.2 points and won the state in 2020 by 3.3 points.</p>
<p>Polls now show DeSantis <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3704553-desantis-leading-crist-by-14-points-in-florida-governor-race-survey/">dominating</a> against Democrat gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist in this year&#8217;s elections by a whopping 14 points.</p>
<p>The report further noted that the voter registration advantage that Democrats had has completely dried up as they now trail Republicans by more than 300,000.</p>
<p>Matthew Van Name, a longtime Democrat consultant who attended a recent event in deep blue Miami-Dade County, noted that only a few dozen people even showed up, leading him to say, “2022 is one of the most uncomfortable and segmented cycles I’ve seen.”</p>
<p>The report highlighted how DeSantis has become a dominate national political figure who has raised more money for his political operation <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-shatters-all-time-fundraising-record-gives-money-to-republican-candidates">than all other potential 2024 candidates</a>. According to one recent survey, DeSantis also has the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mainstream-poll-ron-desantis-ranks-1-for-major-american-politicians-in-net-favorability">highest net approval rating of any major U.S. politician</a>.</p>
<p>“I think Ron DeSantis will win Miami-Dade County,” said Evan Ross, a longtime South Florida-based Democratic consultant. “Democratic voters are not at all excited or motivated by Charlie’s campaign. Right now, I think it will be close, but I think DeSantis beats Crist here.”</p>
<p>“The only thing that might give Charlie Crist a chance of becoming governor would be DeSantis aggressively campaigning for him over the next two weeks,” Ross said. “Translation: It’s over. And it’s going to be ugly.”</p>
