Abstract
For the first time in more than two generations, the US presidential race in Florida is following a different dynamic – no longer is the political debate in this key swing state dominated by Washington’s relationship with Havana.
This is a sign that the younger generation in the Cuban exile community is less hardline than its parents – and an indication of the historic shift in Cuban-US relations since 2014. Diplomatic ties have been restored and Barack Obama has become the first US president to visit Cuba since Calvin Coolidge in January 1928.
