But there's no guarantee the Democrats' leftward turn on guns will help them recreate their 2018 victory during the 2020 presidential election, which will take place on different terrain than the diverse, educated suburbs where Democrats performed best in in November.

Florida will again play a crucial role, and Democrats lost major races there last year despite being the location of the Parkland shooting.
