With respect to nationality of place of origin, Cubans and Puerto Ricans represent the two largest subgroups within the state’s Hispanic population. Cubans in Florida number over 1.6 million (7.2% of the state’s population) (U.S. Census Bureau & U.S. Department of Commerce, 2023a) and constitute a key voting bloc for the Republican Party. Puerto Ricans, meanwhile, number over 1.2 million (5.4% of the population) (U.S. Census Bureau & U.S. Department of Commerce, 2023a) and represent the traditional voting base of the Democrats, although the 2024 election results suggest that the party is facing more competition with respect to this group of voters
