whats up with Florida? I can understand South Texas and their uptick. But FLORIDA? Am I missing something?

DeSantis has spent the past decade radicalizing Florida. He hasn't stopped, we just can't hear it over the noise from Trump.

I'll also point out that both Florida and Texas were increasingly blue. The increasing radicalization of both states is a deliberate effort to prevent national Democratic party power in the future, a test case for things that they want to do nationally, and provides a power base from which they can try to leverage that power to affect everyone in the country.

DeSantis playing along with Trump, what else?

If we indiscriminately deport brown people then we can ensure the state stays red.
