As we told you earlier, the highly anticipated Florida governor’s race is finally OVER. Florida dodged a bullet, and that bullet is socialist nightmare Andrew Gillum.
At first, Gillum refused to concede.
“A vote denied is justice denied — the State of Florida must count every legally cast vote,” Gillum said in a statement. “As today’s unofficial reports and recent court proceedings make clear, there are tens of thousands of votes that have yet to be counted. We plan to do all we can to ensure that every voice is heard in this process. Voters need to know that their decision to participate in this election, and every election, matters. It is not over until every legally casted vote is counted.”
It sounded like he was holding on to the possibility that he could steal the nomination through a bunch of timely and costly lawsuits.
Reality finally set in.
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.

Most importantly, from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for being part of this campaign. I wouldn’t be here without the support that was shown by millions of Floridians. I encourage y’all to keep fighting for what we believe in.

BTW, Trump said this.
Congratulations to Andrew Gillum on having run a really tough and competitive race for Governor of the Great State of Florida. He will be a strong Democrat warrior long into the future – a force to reckon with!

Meh. I don’t know. It depends. If the left really starts to embrace the wild socialists on their side, then he’ll succeed. If they actually revamp their party and weed the “extremists” out, then no. He’s a zero.
It all depends on the direction Democrats decide to go.
