Claimant: Ron DeSantis (R)
Claim: Florida has attracted more income moving into the state during his tenure than “any American state in the history of the republic.”
Rating: MISLEADING
Explanation: IRS migration data shows Florida gained substantial income from inbound migration during DeSantis’ tenure, including roughly $36 billion in adjusted gross income moving into the state in 2022. However, IRS migration data only reliably dates back to 1990, making it impossible to determine whether Florida’s gains are the largest in U.S. history.
