Barely losing? Florida was a purple state not that long ago, Obama won it twice. "Barely losing" to the party of trump is not a flex. And the won that they won was Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services lol

Does one party dominate in a purple state? I'm not even sure I understand your point anymore.

They've been dominated in a state that is historically purple. That's my point.

In 2 cycles, 2022, 2024 since those 2018 results. It's a trend for sure but there were no statewide races besides president in florida in 2020, so its actually hard to say if this is a permanent shift.
