The first and only gubernatorial debate between Gov. Ron DeSantis and Congressman Charlie Crist seemed to have the incumbent on the ropes. DeSantis sometimes looked like a dear in the headlights as he gritted his teeth and smirked at some of the Crist zingers. The biggest takeaway that everyone will be talking about Tuesday: DeSantis, […]
Agriculture Commissioner and gubernatorial candidate Nikki Fried, the only statewide elected Democrat, has seized on to what some predict will be a wedge issue in this competitive election: Affordable housing and skyrocketing rental rates.

And it is looking true statewide in the Florida governor’s race and in two key state races in Miami-Dade when it comes to the early voting and absentee ballots cast so far.
