New Statewide Flip, with wins up & down the ballot

You are viewing The Plan to Win 2020. Feel free to explore our past strategy, or jump to The Plan to Win 2022 here.

Florida is a perpetual battleground state and therefore a perpetual arms race. Wins and losses happen on razor-thin margins—the last six top-of-the-ticket races have been decided by less than 0.5 percentage points. 2020 was no different. Although Democratic outside spending flooded the state in the fall, it was arguably too little too late. In the end, Trump won the state by a margin of almost 400,000 votes, or, put another way, four times his 2016 margin. With openings in the Southwest and the South, like Arizona and Georgia, Florida is now an absolutely essential part of the Republican Electoral College path to the presidency since there are so few large red states left. But with the minimum wage ballot measure passing with 60% of the vote in Florida, as seen in other states, a progressive policy agenda can be won through ballot measures even while progressive candidates lose.
