TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) The Latest on Florida recount (all times local):
6 p.m.
Democrat Andrew Gillum says in ending his bid for Florida governor that the race has been the journey of our lives for the candidate and his wife R. Jai.
Gillum posted a live video on Facebook on Saturday afternoon congratulating DeSantis. Gillum had conceded to Republican Ron DeSantis on election night, but retracted it after the margin between the two candidates narrowed. The race went to a legally required recount, but after an initial machine recount DeSantis still led Gillum by more than 30,000 votes.
In a statement from his campaign late Saturday, Gillum recalled how he had vowed earlier to fight until the last vote is counted. He then adds that process has been gone its course and he wishes to congratulate DeSantis on becoming the governor of the great state of Florida.

It was all about race to him.
Damn, we here in Florida dodged a bullet.
This time
Thought we could move on. We do not need sympathetic stories .
Damn, we here in Florida dodged a bullet.

I still find it unbelievable that a socialist was almost elected as Florida Governor.
The fact that so many voted for a communist does not bode well. Ignorant voters casting votes for the black guy will bring about the same future that Venezuala suffered.
Absolutely correct
Another of the myriad threats to the Republic these days is people dramatizing themselves.
Congratulations Governor DeSantis! Go back to Tallahassee Gillum!
anyone know when the FBI will arrest this guy?
Funny, most girls give up their invented notebook cover names when they leave Jr. Hai.
On the second Sunday of next week or when Hell freezes over. Which ever that one comes last.
Gillum and Hillary.
You sure as hell did. Georgia too.
Heckle and Jeckle..... the cartoon magpies of the same name.

Unless your new governor and his staff get busy fixing your state’s broken elections system, you may not be so lucky next time.
Florida’s population is riddled with felons and people with criminal records. It’s why the amendment granting one million felons the right to vote was passed so easily here.
