Trump picked up more votes in Florida in 2020 than he did in 2016 and beat Biden by a larger margin than he did Clinton. This is due to the influx of right wingers from Blue/Purple States over the past ten years. It has only gotten worse over the past three years. The Florida Supreme Court decision now allows GOP women to go to the polls, vote straight Republican ticket and then check the box in favor of the Constitutional Amendment on women's reproductive rights. It will easily pass and it wont require Republican women to vote for one single Democrat to restore their rights.
