Florida Sees Historic Wins, Blue Counties Flip
Florida Sees Historic Wins, Blue Counties Flip
Amid many disappointing results on Tuesday night, Florida’s victories give hope.
From Fox News. Florida saw Republican incumbents Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Marco Rubio achieve easy victories in highly watched races, thanks in no small part to several South Florida counties voting for the GOP in far greater numbers than in years past.

The change was most notably felt in historically blue Miami-Dade County, which flipped DeSantis’ way – the first time in 20 years the county went for a Republican governor. As of early Wednesday morning, state data had DeSantis winning 55.3% of the votes in Miami-Dade to 44% for Democrat Charlie Crist. Compare that to 2018, when DeSantis got trounced in that county by Democrat Andrew Gillum by a margin of more than 20 points. …
Overall, the victories for Rubio and DeSantis tell a greater story for the GOP in the Sunshine State.
Rubio’s victory came despite being out-fundraised and outspent by Demings by a wide margin.
“I’m fine with that,” Rubio said Tuesday evening. “I’m 100% fine because I knew that no amount of money – no amount of money was going to convince people who escaped Marxism and socialism that America should embrace Marxism and socialism.” …
“Thanks to the overwhelming support of the people of Florida, we not only won election, we have re-written the political map,” Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis proclaimed at his Election Night victory celebration. “Thank you for honoring us with a win for the ages.”
From Breitbart. Governor Ron DeSantis is poised to be the first Republican to win Miami-Dade County, FL in decades, which includes a heavy Hispanic-voting presence.
During an appearance on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” DeSantis discussed this potential outcome, saying that his success there was proof you did not need to “move left” on borders and amnesty to win the Hispanic vote. …
“So I think it’s on all of these issues, but clearly, the Republican establishment view that you need open borders and amnesty to appeal to Hispanic voters in the United States is dead wrong,” he added. “It was wrong then, and it has clearly been proven to be wrong now.”

I am PRAISING THE LORD for leaders like Ron DeSantis! What a blessing to Florida and an example to all of us!
We praise God for the victories. I wish we had such leaders in my state although Representative Mooney is a godly man. I pray and find encouragement in Psalm 37. Lord haste the day.
Dear heavenly Father. We ask for you to completely deliver us from all evil. We will not bow to these false elections in MN, WI, MI, PA, GA, IL, CA, NY, NJ, NV, AZ, NH, MA and MD. We know that you will direct our steps to victory. We as your children who love you are reminding you on your promise to deliver us from evil. May the evil forces never get anything passed into law that may harm us. Let their evil plans be used against us and only strengthen our faith. In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen
1 Corinthians 15:57 thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

I definitely don’t take for granted Governor DeSantis’ and Senator Rubio’s victories. I’ve never seen such long lines to vote. I cried for friend in other states that are hurting so bad. Lord, we trust You.
