As we’ve said time and time again, Latino voters are not a monolith. And the preliminary results in Florida may be the clearest example of this (of course, these results will continue to update throughout the evening). To be clear, the gubernatorial race has already been projected for Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, and you can see how Latino counties didn’t break Democrats’ way. Miami-Dade county is nearly 70 percent Hispanic or Latino, according to census records, and DeSantis leads there by 10 points. This, of course, stands in stark contrast to what happened in DeSantis’s previous race, in 2018, when Latinos went for Andrew Gillum, DeSantis’s Democratic challenger at the time, by 10 points: 54 percent to 44 percent.
