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.

Israel has widened its military operations in Lebanon, launching a deadly airstrike in the northern region. The attack, which targeted a house sheltering displaced families, killed at least 21 people, leaving eight others injured, according to health officials. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble for survivors.

This shift marks a significant escalation, as Israel had previously focused its strikes on the south, the Bekaa Valley, and Beirut’s outskirts. Meanwhile, millions of Israelis are taking cover from cross-border rocket fire as the violence intensifies. Israel has also ordered the evacuation of 25 villages in southern Lebanon. Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to continue targeting Hezbollah “without mercy,” even extending operations to Beirut. In eastern Lebanon, civilians like Jalal Ferhat and his family have fled toward the Syrian border in a desperate attempt to escape the worsening conflict.
