It will be very close; there will be efforts by the FL GOP to suppress and disenfranchise voters. DeSantis donning his cone hat and burning his cross early has defined the contest.

And given that nearly half the state is neither white Protestant nor non-Hispanic Catholic, and given the big white progressive vote in Miami-Dade and other urban areas, playing the race card there could backfire big time.
