Quick Glance: DeSantis Won A Battle Over LGBTQ Issues, But Conservatives May Still Lose The War
- This is likely the most vehement resistance to LGBTQ rights since 2004, when then-President George W. Bush made same-sex marriage an important part of his reelection campaign.
- Same-sex marriage was still a contentious issue, and according to most accounts, the attacks helped him win the president a second time.

- They must be cautious, though, given how far public opinion has already shifted: It's difficult to criticize same-sex marriage, for example, when it has overwhelming support even among Republicans.
