, when DeSantis' highly public opposition to federal social distancing guidelines endeared him to many conservatives.
In more recent history, Florida's major elections have often been decided by slim margins. Four years earlier, for instance, DeSantis beat Democrat Andrew Gillum by a margin of less than half a percentage point. That was the state's third gubernatorial election in a row to end with a margin of victory under 2 percentage points.
To be sure, Florida has long been a tough environment for Democrats. The state has gone red in eight of the last 11 presidential elections. Its last four governors have been Republicans and its House delegation has leaned toward the GOP since 1988.
