While he risks turning off independent voters and reigniting an issue that has been a loser for the party in general elections, he also risks alienating conservatives he needs to defeat Trump in the 2024 GOP primary, should he decide to run. Recent polling shows the ban is not popular among Florida residents of either political party.
