Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum pulls off a huge upset, becoming the first African-American nominee for governor in Florida history. The candidate, who had the backing of Bernie Sanders, will compete against Trump backed Ron DeSantis in November.
Tonight, we proved what's possible when people come together & show up to build FL into a better state for all. I'm truly honored to represent people across the state as the Democratic nominee — and I promise to stand up for everyday Floridians and the issues that matter most. pic.twitter.com/zC19uMBIer
