Gov. RonDeSantis will have to fight Donald Trump for independent voters, but using some tactics could push the key voting bloc away from Republicans and push President JoeBiden to reelection.
Independent voters are going to be a key voting base for 2024 presidential candidates, particularly for the GOP as it tries to make up for a less-than-expected performance during the 2022 midterm elections. To secure the party nomination and eventually the White House, DeSantis will need to find common ground among voters.
“But by trying to out-MAGA Trump, DeSantis is very much in danger that he finds himself in the same category as Trump with these swing voters who will not like a six-week abortion ban, and who will not like his unrelenting focus” on culture war fights, Longwell said. Independent voters are likely to play a significant role in DeSantis's campaign, particularly as moderate or right-leaning voters hope to usher in a new era of politics for the Republican Party. DeSantis is heading into the 2024 presidential election not only with his legislative wins but substantial 2022 reelection numbers as well.
“DeSantis right now is speaking to a primary audience, so he’s emphasizing the parts of his record that appeal to GOP voters and contrast with Trump,” Republican pollster Chris Wilson told CNN. “But his record and results on the economy, on education, and on just running a competent and efficient government without the runaway spending and inflation of the Biden years appeal to swing voters.”
