Republicans have set a landmark by overtaking Democrats in the voter registration race for the first time in the sunshine state’s history, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Friday at the National Conference of State Legislatures.

“When I got elected governor we had 280,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said. “Today, and it will probably be fully publicized very soon, for the first time in the history of Florida we have overtaken Democrats. There are more registered Republicans in Florida than Democrats.”
