US Election 2020: Why is the Florida result so important?
Florida is vital to the president's chances of re-election this year - but could Joe Biden win without winning 'the sunshine state'? Professor James Clark is an expert of the history of Florida elections at the University of Central Florida. He notes that the last time a Republican president won *without* claiming Florida was 96 years ago and goes on to explain how voters' loyalties, the location and how the state's administration is organised all contribute to the state's significance.
