After initially conceding and then un-conceding as the race to be Florida’s next governor entered a recount due to its close margin, Democrat Andrew Gillum conceded the race for good on Saturday.
I want to congratulate @RonDeSantisFL on becoming the next Governor of the great state of Florida. My wife R. Jai and I could not be prouder of the way we ran this race. We could not be more thankful to my running mate, @ChrisKingFL and his wife Kristen.

A damn shame, but a great effort. I have the feeling we’ll be seeing more of Mayor Gillum…
I agree, and I’m sure we will.
So when does the betting open on how soon Ronnie De makes his first screw-up? I haven’t much experience with a US Rep. running for and winning their state’s governorship. I would think that there would be a bit of a learning curve there.
There once was a man named Gillum,
Who knew what it took to fulfill 'em.
Though he gave it his best,
Voters had been suppressed.
Even so, he still managed to thrill 'em.
pah DUM!
