Florida was relevant in US elections. When was the last time it was up for grabs?

It is actually interesting, a state converting to single-party rule significantly reduces the electoral leverage it has.

Obama won it in 2012.

That isn't that long ago in electoral cycles.

Obama did start warming relations, probably due to that shift. Trump reversed it. I expect it’ll continue to, at best, see-saw until Republicans are comfortable enough with their advantage in Florida to ignore the Cuban vote.

It was reversed since it was a campaign promise. The idea was that all that money from tourism was only helping the Castro regime. A sentiment I'm sure most Cubans are not happy about.
