While there are many races around the country that remain yet to be called, one election that was over fast took place in Florida when Gov. Ron DeSantis crushed his Democrat opponent Charlie Crist.
An NBC News panel this morning took a page from Jen Psaki when analyzing how and why Gov. DeSantis won so much of the Latino vote (shouldn’t they be saying “LatinX”?):
NBC marvels at DeSantis winning a majority of Latinos.
They're kind of shocked to realize they're not a monolith. Chuck Todd says a Dem consultant told him they need to stop "trying to treat them as African Americans, as if there is one issue that will somehow unite [them]." pic.twitter.com/MeX69rEg3x— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) November 9, 2022
"Democrats would love these kind of numbers anywhere, specifically Florida," Tom Llamas says of DeSantis and Latinos.
He says Democrats need to learn lessons from this. "Florida Republicans are doing something right" including getting out and meeting the voters. pic.twitter.com/D6m3g347Vj— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) November 9, 2022
Wait, Democrats get the black vote with just one issue?

Really! I couldn’t believe he said that.
