Florida was one of six states where Trump received more percentage of the two-party vote than he did in 2016. [lower-alpha 1]

Miami Beach, Florida, which hosted the 1972 Democratic National Convention, was a finalist to host the 2020 Democratic National Convention.[4] The other finalists were Milwaukee and Houston; Milwaukee was ultimately selected as the host.[5][6] Florida was Trump's state of residency for this election, after having identified New York as his home state in 2016.[7] As a result, Trump became the first nominee of either major party to be a Florida resident. Biden was selected as the Democratic nominee in the 2020 Florida Democratic presidential primary on March 17, 2020.

Prior to the election, aggregate polls had Joe Biden in the lead in Florida by up to almost 3 points. Despite this, Trump won the state by a 3.4% margin, improving upon his margin from 2016 over Hillary Clinton by 2.2%; it was the largest margin for any presidential election in Florida since 2004. This was due to increased support among Latino voters in the state, particularly in Miami-Dade County, which Biden carried by just a 7.3% margin, significantly lower than Clinton's 29.4% margin in 2016 or Obama's 23.7% margin in 2012.[8] Trump carried Latinos of Cuban heritage with 58%, while Biden carried Puerto Ricans with 66%, and Trump and Biden split the South American vote with 50% each.[9][10] Trump labeled Biden as a "trojan horse for socialism".[11] In this election, Florida voted 7.9 points right of the nation as a whole, the furthest it has voted from the nation since 1988, when Florida voted 14.6 points right of the nation.

This election was the first time since 1992, and only the second time since 1960, that Florida went to the losing candidate in a presidential election. It was also the first time since 1960 that both Ohio and Florida have voted for the losing candidate in a presidential election, the first time since 1992 that Florida voted Republican while neighboring Georgia voted Democratic, and the first time since 1992 that Florida voted more Republican than North Carolina.

Despite his loss statewide, Biden became the first Democrat to win Duval County since Southerner Jimmy Carter in 1976, and the first Democrat to win Seminole County since Harry Truman in 1948.[12][13] Biden also flipped Pinellas County back to the Democratic Party. Biden became the first Democrat to win the presidency without carrying St. Lucie County since 1992, and the first Democrat to win the presidency without carrying Monroe County.

Florida is one of three states that voted twice for both Barack Obama and Trump, with the other two being Ohio and Iowa.

Counties that flipped from Republican to Democratic

By congressional district
District Trump Biden Representative

Ex-felons

United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, located in Atlanta, ruled that ex-felons could not vote in Florida unless they pay fines and fees. Florida voters approved amendment 4 in November 2018, which restored voting for felons upon completion of all terms of sentence including parole or probation, except for those who committed murders or were involved in sex-crimes.[37] The Republican-controlled legislature then passed a law which required ex-felons to settle their financial obligation in courts. United States District Court in Tallahassee ruled against it in May, but the circuit court overturned it in September, which was speculated to have created further problems for ex-felons when they voted in November. Civil rights organizations including American Civil Liberties Union opposed the decision by the court.[38]

Miami-Dade County

In Miami-Dade County, the majority of Trump support came from the west and the majority of Biden support came from the east. People of Mexican, Haitian, and African descent tended to vote for Biden, while people of Cuban, Chilean and Colombian descent did so for Trump, as well as the critical Venezuelan vote swinging Republican.[39] Trump won approximately two thirds of the vote in Hialeah, whereas it was nearly evenly split four years prior.[40] Sabrina Rodriguez of Politico wrote "a vote for Trump has become about more than just him, or even the Republican Party. It’s about patriotism."[41] Due to the heavy presence of the Cuban-American community, Hialeah traditionally, as of 2020, leaned towards Republican politics.[42] Trump's coattails played a role in the election of Miami Republicans Carlos A. Giménez and Maria Elvira Salazar to the House of Representatives.

Residents of Cuban descent often had an antagonism against leftist movements due to associations with Fidel Castro.[43] Trump sought to attract these voters by implementing anti-Cuba policies.[44]

Additionally Trump made efforts to target other Hispanic demographics.[40]
