Florida has established itself as a conservative stronghold, with one million more registered voters as Republicans than as Democrats.

According to data revealed by the state election supervisors, there are currently 5.3 million active voters affiliated with the Republican Party, compared to 4.3 million registered as Democrats. Additionally, around 3.9 million voters do not identify with any political party or are affiliated with minor parties.

The rapid change in Florida's political landscape is notable, especially for the speed at which the state has become so conservative. In 2020, Democrats still held an advantage of approximately 97,000 registered voters over Republicans.

With this advantage in voter registration, the Republican Party of Florida strengthens its influence in the state, consolidating its position as a fundamental pillar in conservative politics at the national level.

In the 2020 elections, Florida was key to the victory of former President Donald Trump, who won the state with 51.2% of the votes compared to Joe Biden's 47.9%. Although Biden had led in early voting, Trump secured 29 crucial electoral votes for his reelection. Voter participation was notable, reaching record numbers in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, indicating strong interest from voters.

The statistics underscore the importance of Florida in the American political landscape, especially in the 2020 electoral processes, where tight results reinforced the perception of the state as a crucial battleground.

In November 2022, a Republican wave occurred in Florida, where the Republican Party gained a supermajority in the state legislature. Conservatives achieved a notable victory, defeating several Democratic senators and representatives, and securing solid control over the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Governor Ron DeSantis was re-elected by a wide margin, consolidating Florida as a predominantly Republican state. The victory was marked by a shift in Miami-Dade County, which after 20 years ceased to be Democratic and aligned with Republican support.
