DeSantis actions could pose risk with Black voters in 2024
Gov. DeSantis and his anti-African American history accurately being taught in schools rants could indeed put him at odds with the Nation's African American voters of all ages if he runs in 2024 for the GOP Nomination. His racist, pro-White supremacist agenda is being exposed for what it is. Also, his anti-LGBTQ positions, anti-Diverse books, Voter suppression tactics which target African-Americans and the poor, anti-Immigrant, anti-Abortion rights/access, etc., angering many of Americans across this country's social and political spectrum, are doing him no favors either.Source:The Hill
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) runs the risk of alienating Black voters ahead of a potential 2024 presidential bid after a series of controversial moves by his administration, some observers say.
Though he hasn’t announced a decision for the 2024 presidential election just yet, DeSantis is seen as a strong GOP contender for the White House, next to former President Trump. But a spate of actions some have criticized as “anti-Black” could pose a threat for the governor’s chances at winning over Black voters, who became a deciding factor in securing President Biden’s election in 2020 and the Democrats’ Senate majority in the 2022 midterms.
“People from all across the country should be concerned that Gov. DeSantis, who potentially will soon run for president in the next few years, that he is pushing this type of agenda,” said Florida state Sen. Shevrin Jones (D). “This is the tone and the tenor that won’t just be for Florida but that will be spread nationally.”

I'd change it, Elessar, but then that wouldn't make sense with your post.
Happily, very solid majorities of Americans, which include many conservatives, are pro-choice and pro-marriage equality when asked in ways that don't trigger factional responses. 
Much fewer are among "deep" conservatives, of course.
Speaking of "going after" the Hispanic vote, I remember the GOP postmortems after the election of Obama and their supposedly facing up to the demographic transition as minorities grow in representation.
At that time, the general idea seemed to be that they shouldn't bother with black Americans but that "reaching OUT" to Hispanic citizens by being less overtly hostile toward Hispanic undocumented immigrants (as surrogates for them) would satisfy them. That was it; no need to try to bring Hispanic citizens into the party or to address issues they might have for themselves.
So in a way, even if done for the wrong reasons, attempts to actually woo them could turn into an advance for the white man's party. If it stuck. Even before this era, I wondered if too much success of this type might lead, temporarily, to race/ethnonationalist riots in the GOP's tent. But just maybe to an influential moderate-conservative Hispanic caucus instead.
