Results from Florida’s eastern-time-zone counties are starting to report and report quickly. The early numbers are mixed – with good and bad news for both sides.
In places like Pinellas County, a populous area of the west coast near Tampa Bay, Biden is overperforming Hillary Clinton’s 2016 numbers. Donald Trump won that county in 2016 by just 1 percent. With an estimated 75% of the vote reported, Biden has a 52% to 46% lead, with 248,620 votes. Trump won the county four years ago with 239,201.
In Miami-Dade, however, it’s Trump who is beating his 2016 numbers in a Democratic stronghold. With 84% reporting, Biden only leads 54% to 45% - well off Clinton’s 63% to 33% margin.
If there’s one fundamental rule in modern US politics, it’s that Florida will be close – and this year seems no different. Why it’s close this year, however, could be a surprise.
