President Donald Trump may have just directed his most damaging tweet yet at Democrat Andrew Gillum. He paid him a compliment. “Congratulations to Andrew Gillum on having run a really tough and competitive race for Governor of the Great State of Florida,” Trump tweeted. “He will be a strong Democrat warrior long into the future—a […]

Republican Ron DeSantis, the 40-year-old former three-term Congressman, has defeated Democrat Andrew Gillum to become the next Governor of Florida after a mandated machine recount. The win was just 0.4 percent, a spread of 33,652 votes. The gubernatorial race, like the U.S. Senate and Agriculture Commissioner contests, had margins under the 0.50 percent threshold that triggers a recount. With the margin more than […]

Barry Richard, representing Democrat Andrew Gillum as the recount progresses, has a unique perspective on these matters. In 2000, Richard was George W. Bush‘s lawyer. Unlike 18 years ago, Richard’s client may not prevail: with an hour before the Thursday at 3 p.m. machine recount deadline, there is little indication that Gillum will overcome the 0.41 percent […]

Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum awaits the results of the machine recount in the race for Florida Governor against Republican Ron DeSantis. In what seems to be a strategic move, the Democrat bypassed in-state media in his first interview since rescinding his concession of the race. Gillum preferred instead to give quotes to Rolling Stone (the kind of move […]

During the sleepy, largely oppo-free Democratic primary campaign for Governor, one of the rare moments of interest was when a previously-unknown group made moves to take the frontrunner down. The Collective PAC, dedicated to putting African-Americans into office, spent $2 million backing Andrew Gillum during the campaign. Of that sum, $1.75 million went to ads chipping […]

On MSNBC Monday morning, Democratic candidate for Governor Andrew Gillum‘s recount attorney, Barry Richard, suggested the gubernatorial candidate was seriously considering legal action. Host Hallie Jackson noted that some counties will struggle to meet the 3 p.m. Thursday deadline for completing the recount. Richard said that, if that happens, “the candidates involved have to decide which way to […]

Barry Richard, the veteran Tallahassee lawyer now representing Democratic candidate for Governor Andrew Gillum during the gubernatorial vote recount, has taken a leave of absence from his law firm. That firm, Greenberg Traurig, adopted a leave policy for its lawyers taking on any matter “that might be controversial or disruptive,” Richard told Florida Politics Sunday […]

Andrew Gillum is walking back his prior acknowledgment that Florida voters elected Republican Ron DeSantis as Governor. Gillum, the Mayor of Tallahassee, told news media on Saturday that he conceded the election to DeSantis on Tuesday night because he “had operated with the best information that was available.” “Since that time, more information has come […]

On Friday, nearly three days after ballots began to be counted, we still lack clarity in who the next Governor will be. We do know there will be a machine recount. With a vote lead of 36,211 with over 8.2 million ballots counted (rounding up to a 0.46 percent edge) Republican Ron DeSantis, the 40-year-old former […]
