The Republicans in the Florida House of Representatives added to their supermajority in that legislative body by winning 85 of the 120 seats in November.

But that wasn’t the final count. Because in the following weeks, the party picked up additional seats when two lawmakers who had just been returned to office as Democrats woke up one day and had an epiphany that they were really Republicans after all.

I guess you could say they were “blinded on the road to DeSantis.”

These two transitioning Republicans in the Florida House were incumbent Democrats who went through their conversions quietly in the days after they were re-elected.
