(7 Nov 2018) Florida Democratic nominee for governor Andrew Gillum is conceding to his Republican rival Ron DeSantis. AP has not called the race. The Tallahassee mayor was seeking to become the state's first black governor and become the first Democrat to win the governor's race in more than 20 years. Returns show that DeSantis has a narrow lead in the race. DeSantis was supported by President Donald Trump. Gillum told a crowd at Florida A&M University he regretted not bringing the race home. But Gillum, who is just 39 years old, vowed to remain involved in politics. Gillum pulled off an upset when he won the Democratic primary in August.
