Florida as a Swing State

With my home state of Florida casting its ballots today I thought it would be appropriate to link this article from the New York Times that places the Democratic Primary contest in the context of Florida's swing state status -

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/16/us/can-democrats-win-back-florida.html

The article argues that Florida is a quintessential swing state and representative of many regions of the country:

The liberal southeast, from Miami to West Palm Beach, votes like the Northeast. The traditional southwest, including Naples and Sarasota [my home town!], votes like the Midwest. The conservative north, especially the Panhandle, votes like the South. The swing middle — the Interstate 4 corridor that political pundits drool over during election years — is up for grabs.

The suburban turnout that states like Michigan and Virginia saw in past weeks is very relevant in Florida where swing votes are a precious commodity - the last 2 presidential elections were decided by roughly 1% and 4 of the last 5 decided by less than 3%. Polling of the last several weeks has been very clear about who the winner of the Florida primary may likely be, but the sub-heading of the above article sums up the mindset of Florida Democrats more broadly as well:

"The largest presidential battleground state looked to be slipping away from Democrats. Then Joe Biden started winning primaries."

I wish everyone the best and hope all is well, can't wait to hear from everyone!
