Big wins for Republicans in Florida

It’s 730 and polls have closed in Ohio and North Carolina, both with closely watched Senate races, as well as some interesting House races. It’ll take a while for us to get numbers in there. We can call the races for governor and for Senator in the state of Florida. For Senate, Marco Rubio has defeated Val Demings. And for Governor Ron DeSantis has defeated Charlie Crist. Right now it looks like the margins will either be in high single digits or low double digits in victory. We’re also closely watching Indiana’s first district, Virginia’s second seventh and 10th districts. The Virginia districts in fact the Indiana district as well, a very interesting. They reflect an effort by the Republicans to run a very diverse set of candidates. In Indiana, a African American woman is taking on a Democrat white male. In Virginia. All three Democrats seats are now held by white women. Republicans are running one white woman, one Hispanic woman, and one Vietnamese male against them. These will be very interesting races to see if the Republican strategy of running a more diverse set of candidates pays off. This is Larry Lindsey for straight arrow News.
