Several US media outlets projected Republican Byron Donalds and Democrat David Jolly to win their respective party primaries, meaning they will face off in the general election in November.

Congressman Donalds received President Donald Trump’s endorsement for governor, but right-wing candidate James Fishback generated attention with young conservative voters for his controversial statements and social-media heavy strategy.

Democrats have not held the Florida governor’s mansion since 1999.

Jolly, a former Republican congressman who left the party and became a critic of Trump, faced off against an array of candidates to score the projected win for his party’s primary. That included state lawmaker Dotie Joseph and criminal justice reform advocate Evelyn Castillo-Bach.

In Florida’s Senate race, US media are projecting that Republican Ashley Moody and Democrat Angie Nixon will win their respective party primaries.

In the Republican primary, Moody is running for her first full term after being appointed to replace Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

And in the Democratic primary, Nixon, a State Representative, has carved out the progressive lane over more moderate Democratic contenders like Alex Vindman, who testified in Trump’s first impeachment in 2019 and was subsequently fired by the White House.

With more than 90% of votes in, US media is projecting Republican Ryan Elijah to win his party’s primary for Florida’s 7th congressional House district.

Elijah is projected to beat out incumbent Republican Congressman Cory Mills, in perhaps the most closely watched congressional race in Florida. Mills has been running for reelection as he faces an investigation by the House Ethics Committee and allegations of domestic abuse.

Mills has denied any accusations of misconduct. But DeSantis has distanced himself from Mills, saying he would not endorse him.

Democrat Bale Dalton is projected to win his party’s primary for Florida’s 7th congressional House district, meaning he’ll face off against Elijah in the November election.
