Florida Primary Election Preview | Mobile News

Florida’s primary elections are underway, shaping the state’s political future as voters choose gubernatorial nominees to replace term-limited Ron DeSantis and face off in newly redrawn congressional districts tilted toward Republicans. Eleven GOP candidates, including Trump-endorsed Rep. Byron Donalds and Lt. Gov. Jay Collins, battle for the governor’s nomination, while six Democrats — led by fundraising champ David Jolly — struggle to reclaim a seat they haven’t held since 1990. In the Senate race, Republican Ashley Moody seeks to complete Marco Rubio’s term against either Angie Nixon or Alex Vindman, the impeached Trump witness. With new maps stripping Democratic strength and incumbents facing tougher redrawn districts — even former Congressmen are returning — this primary could set the tone for November. Polls close at 7 PM local time (8 PM in Central), but remember: you can only vote within your party. The stakes? High. The drama? Unfolding now.
