<p>Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said during an interview over the weekend that due to the work that he has done as governor the state has transitioned from being a one-time swing state to a GOP stronghold heading into the 2024 presidential election.</p>
<p>DeSantis made the remarks during a Sunday interview on Fox News&#8217; &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures&#8221; while speaking the significant number of Americans from other states that have moved to Florida in recent years.</p>
<p>&#8220;When I became governor of Florida had never had more registered Republicans than Democrats in state history,&#8221; DeSantis told host Maria Bartiromo. &#8220;And we were close to 300,000 fewer Republicans and Democrats, this is 2018. Today, we have close to 900,000 more registered Republicans than Democrats. So you&#8217;re talking about a million plus voter registration shift.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And yes, part of that, I think is a response locally, where people are more likely to switch from Democrat to Republican in Florida, non party to Republican than vice versa and that&#8217;s been an important component of it,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;But I do think that migration has skewed amongst people who come to Florida, not because they want to change the policies to reflect in Illinois, or California or New York, but because they appreciate how Florida has done it different from where they&#8217;re coming to. And so I think that&#8217;s contributed to this really record thing.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Florida is off the board,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It is a Republican state, you&#8217;ve covered politics. We used to be a one point state, every election hung on how would Florida go, that is not true anymore. And and I think that&#8217;s a good thing for the party.&#8221;</p>
