TALLAHASSEE, FLA. (WSVN) - Democrat Andrew Gillum and Republican Ron DeSantis are making stops across the Sunshine State, vying for last minute votes.
With only a day left until one of the most anticipated midterm elections in U.S. history, the two candidates for Florida governor are making their final push.
“We’re doing very well in Miami-Dade,” DeSantis said, “turning out a lot of voters. We have a lot of enthusiasm here.”
“On Tuesday, y’all. We’re bringing it home,” Gillum said.
DeSantis attended a rally with Sen. Marco Rubio in Orlando, shortly after campaigning in Jacksonville. From Orlando, he will head to Vero Beach and then Clearwater.
“I think that we’re finishing strong, and so there were some things I would’ve liked to have done a little bit better throughout those weeks in September,” DeSantis said, “but I’d rather have the momentum now, than have the momentum earlier.”
President Trump held three rallies Monday, following several over the weekend, as he threw his full support behind DeSantis.
Gillum will continue his bus tour around the state and spend time in Northwest Florida.
The Tallahassee mayor received help from former President Barack Obama on the campaign trail in Miami, Friday.
Sunday, he spent time in South Florida with Rev. Al Sharpton in Northwest Miami-Dade.
On Monday, Gillum visited an elementary school in Bay County and greeted students as they returned to class. It’s the first day back for a number of schools in the panhandle since Hurricane Michael devastated the region.
“I’m here before Election Day because I want this community to know that they’re not going to be forgotten,” he said, “that the recovery effort will likely, without a doubt, go over into the next administration.”
DeSantis will be in Orlando and Gillum will be in Tallahassee as they await the results of the election, Tuesday evening.
