Primary day in Tampa Bay and Florida
Voters, and candidates, made their way to the polls Tuesday to cast their vote in the Florida primary. Democrat Andrew Gillum rode a surge of liberal support from young people and African-Americans to a stunning primary victory Tuesday and the historic opportunity to be the first black governor in Florida’s history. More than 1.5 million Republicans turned out for Tuesday’s Florida primary, but just one person clinched the GOP gubernatorial nomination for U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis over Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam.
