As usual, the race for Florida’s 29 electoral votes — more than 10% of the 270 needed to win the presidency — is exceedingly close, and a relatively small number of votes could swing the state one way or another. In 2016, Trump finished 1.2 percentage points ahead of Democrat Hillary Clinton, winning 112,911 more votes out of 9.1 million cast for the two candidates. (A collection of minor party candidates received another 297,000 votes). The 2018 U.S. Senate race was decided by 10,033 votes out of 8.2 million cast.
