Republican Ron DeSantis will challenge Democrat Charlie Crist

Republican Ron DeSantis will face-off against Democrat Charlie Crist in the upcoming Florida gubernatorial election

Crist cruised to victory over opponent Nikki Fried, who is currently serving as the Agriculture Commissioner.

Crist came in with around 59 per cent of the vote, while Fried scored just above 35 per cent.

However, the Democrats aren’t giving Florida much of a chance in this upcoming election, as DeSantis and his $140 million re-election fund continues to grow.

The state has a growing Hispanic electorate, and has been shifting right since 2018.

Crist is urging voters to think about the fundamental freedoms that are up for grabs at this year’s election.
