Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum conceded the race to Republican challenger Ron DeSantis late Tuesday.
“Y’all, I want to encourage you not to give up,” Gillum told supporters. “I want to encourage you to stick to the fight. I want you to know that every step of this way, even though I won’t have the blessing of serving as the next governor of the state of Florida, I still plan to be front lines right alongside every single one of you when it comes to standing up for what it is that we believe in.”
Dear Florida voters, WTF is wrong with you?
Bummer
He was probably damaged by the FBI investigation. I was seriously disappointed when I heard he took Hamilton tickets from an undercover FBI agent and then lied about it. That’s the sort of thing only a Republican can get away with.
Oh stop it. That was just BS. No one paid attention to that. I would doubt that most Floridians don’t even know what a “Hamilton” is.
Did anyone actually expect a black guy to win FL given the amount of voter suppression that went on? Not to mention the standard racism.
Almost totally unreported - at the same time FL approved the amendment to restore voting rights to felons, they also approved one to require a 2/3 majority in the legislature to raise taxes. So they’ll be in an Oklahoma-style rachet pretty soon.
