In the Senate race, PBS NewsHour reports that Republican Sen. Ashley Moody is running against Democratic state Rep. Angie Nixon and an independent candidate. The supplied material does not identify the independent contender, and it does not report vote totals, a winner or a final result.
PBS NewsHour also reports that Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed Moody to fill the seat vacated by Marco Rubio, who was tapped by President Donald Trump to serve as secretary of state. Moody is seeking to complete the final two years of Rubio’s term, according to the report.
The House coverage concerns Florida’s 27 congressional districts rather than the Senate contest. The Hill reports a current partisan breakdown of those districts and says Florida Republicans passed a new congressional map during a special session, with outgoing Gov. Ron DeSantis described as leading the effort.
The new map was adopted or passed by Florida Republicans before the election, according to both supplied reports. PBS NewsHour says it essentially eliminates four districts most recently represented by Democrats and places Democratic incumbents Kathy Castor, Darren Soto and Jared Moskowitz in newly drawn districts facing tough challenges.
The available material describes the map and the races but does not establish how it affected the ultimate House outcomes. The supplied excerpts likewise contain no reported vote totals, winners or final results for either the Senate or House contests.
