The Florida voters voted today and elected the guvernatorial candidates. The record turn-out and the challenges against the establishment is in every way remarkable. Not only that will elect the anti-establishment candidates, the clear victory against the establishment would affect the way the campaigns are run in coming days.
On the Republican side, DeSantis won the race with a comfortable margin. President Trump openly backed him up against the former agricultural commissioner Putnam. The challenge against the establishment resulted in a clear victory, aided by the good economy and the reportedly good support for the President and his policies among the Republican voters.
On the Democrat side, as somewhat a surprise turn, the Tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillum won the closely contested race. Gillum with a huge support from the grass root organization and some big names such as Bernie Sanders could become the Florida's first African American governor. The victory against the establishment that kept the moderate stance against President Trump could affect the future campaigns as the candidates spent tens of millions of dollars in the race.
