In Florida, a tight race for governor took place as Democrat Andrew Gillum and Republican Ron DeSantis campaigned vigorously for the seat; each had rather famous endorsers including Donald Trump for DeSantis and Barack Obama for Gillum. In the race for the senate seat, Democrat Bill Nelson and Republican Rick Scott campaigned. Nelson was running to continue his  17 years as Florida’s  senator and Rick Scott was running after 8 years as Florida’s governor.
