it's especially notable because black women voted for him at a much higher rate than black men, which is the opposite of what is typical -- GOP candidates always do better with men of every race, with this being the only exception that I'm aware of

dunno if its really about school choice but its worth thinking about

Of the roughly 650,000 black women who voted in Florida, 18% chose Mr. DeSantis, according to CNNs exit poll of 3,108 voters. This exceeded their support for GOP U.S. Senate candidate Rick Scott (9%), Mr. DeSantiss performance among black men (8%) and the GOPs national average among black women (7%).

To be sure, 18% of the black female vote in Florida is equal to less than 2% of the total electorate. But in an election decided by fewer than 40,000 votes, these 100,000 black women proved decisive. Their apparent ticket splitting helps to explain why the Florida governors race wasnt as close as the Florida Senate race, though Mr. Gillum was widely expected to carry Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson to victory on his coattails.

What explains Mr. DeSantis surprising support from African-American women? Two words: school choice.


yeah I know 18% isn't actually doing really well but in the appropriate context it's a very important margin
