If you have not bothered to take note.
Florida has an extra-special importance in domestic politics in the US. Florida has given a few prominent national political figures, including President Donald Trump (who changed his primary residence to Florida in 2019).
Senator Marco Rubio and Governor Ron DeSantis also hail from here and thus amplifying the state's influence. Now the other parts of the tale --- Political strategists often test 'messages' from Florida and analyze voting patterns to understand better how different demographics might vote nationwide.
Florida's diverse population is of immense political consequence—including Black, Hispanic (with different subgroups like Cuban, Puerto Rican, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan Americans).
Needless to add -- matured older voters — make Florida a bellwether for national political trends.
Have Politics failed them ? Do they consider politicians to be failures?
So we may ponder whether Florida and its 'voters' dynamics made Trump attack Venezuela. Why and How ?
It is believed Venezuelan American communities, many of whom settled in the province state over the past decade, have expressed strong opposition to authoritarian leftist governance in Venezuela capital Caracas.
In contrast; Cuban American voters have long prioritised anti-communist foreign policy positions.
Yes; these constituencies constitute a significant voting bloc in closely contested elections. Please note --- there are strong incentives to adopt hardline positions against leftist regimes in Venezuela.
"This was first and foremost an ideological battle, shaped by domestic political incentives in the US – in particular the strategic influence of Florida’s electorate and its political elite," comments Esam Boraey in aljazeera.com.
Do not trust such commentaries - judge for yourself the 'Electoral Clout' of Florida.
The state holds 30 electoral votes (tied with New York for the third most, after California and Texas), making it a major prize in the US presidential elections.
It's basically simple political logic.
The large number of votes means a candidate who wins Florida gains a substantial advantage on the path to the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency.
Have we examined these issues in Uttar Pradesh in India ? Smile please !!
There is another argument. Markets reacted modestly to the capture of Nicolas Maduro with global oil prices remaining relatively stable. This probably indicates that contrary to what the world believes .... oil was not the main driver of the operation.
On the same context; it is said Florida remains a pivotal state in presidential elections, where narrow margins mean even modest shifts among key constituencies can determine national outcomes.
This is like a better and well-informed persuasive rationale !
Historically a swing state with razor-thin margins (the 2000 election was decided by just 537 votes in Florida), the state has trended solidly Republican in recent elections.
Donald Trump won by over 13 percentage points in 2024.
** Additional info ::
Despite the former strength of the Democratic Party in Florida, the state has since World War II most often voted for Republicans in presidential elections. Since the 1990s, however, races have been won by an ever-shrinking margin.
** Unemployment in Florida usually runs below the national average, and the diversified economy of the state has not been as subject to labor fluctuations as in many other areas where one industry dominates the economy.

The growth of Florida in the early 20th century was frantic, if not chaotic.
In the 1920s Florida experienced a land rush with rapidly rising demand and prices and a speculative fever.
World War II spurred a massive investment in the U.S. military and the defense industry as a whole.
