Republicans continue to extend their lead in the state of Florida, adding another 38,545 registrations in July to Democrats' 24,463, according to a post shared on social media by Michael Pruser of Decision Desk HQ.

The month gave Republicans a +14,082 margin. "Other" jumped 6,066.

Overall, total Republicans registrations stood at 5,603,410, while Democrats stood at 4,061,548, a difference of over 1.5 million. "Other" was at 3,820,584.

The good news was shared by the Republican Party of Florida on social media.

"This is the Florida story. If you govern with conviction the voters will follow!" Florida GOP Evan Power wrote. @RealDonaldTrump, @RonDeSantis, and our Republican legislators delivered time and time again.  Our grassroots leaders cashed their victories into voters. The @FloridaGOP is just getting started."

It also continues a stretch of dominance for Florida Republicans over Democrats dating back to 2020, when Democrats held a 5,315,954 to 5,218,739 registration advantage.

Since then, it's been all Republicans. (According to the Florida Division of Elections numbers as of June 30)

2021: Republicans 5,123,799 - Democrats 5,080,697

2022: Republicans 5,312,122 - Democrats 4,928,168

2023: Republicans 5,141,848 - Democrats 4,362,147

2024: Republicans 5,635,902 - Democrats 4,479,820

2025: Republicans 5,509,354 - Democrats 4,044,390

2026: Republicans 5,569,028 - Democrats 4,040,000

Notably, Independents have dropped during that span from 3,799,799 to 3,324,324, while Minor Parties have rose from 231,246 to 493,188, indicating a possible mix of dissatisfaction by Floridians with both major parties.

But none of those say Democrats. Republicans have also dominated them in past elections.

In 2020, President Donald Trump won Florida by just over 3 points against Joe Biden. Trump followed that up with a whopping 13-point victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024, the largest win for a presidential candidate in the state since George H.W. Bush (22.1%) in 1988.

Gov. Ron DeSantis also achieved similar success.

In 2022, Gov. DeSantis defeated Democrat Charlie Crist by nearly 20 points in the gubernatorial election. The result was vastly different than four years prior, when DeSantis squeezed out a half percent victory over Democrat Andrew Gillum.

Will Republican dominance continue in the midterm election? Or will Democrats break the mold?

U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Lt. Gov. Jay Collins, former Florida House Speaker Paul Renner, or businessman James Fishback are looking to continue the trend in the governor's race, where a Republican has won since 1998. Incumbent Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL) is also looking to hold off Democratic challengers Alexander Vindman and Rep. Angie Nixon (D-Jacksonville) in the Senate special election.

The general election is Nov. 3.
