Florida Democrats Concede Senate & Gubernatorial Races After Recounts
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Florida, Democrats have conceded both the Senate and gubernatorial
races after recounts maintained narrow Republican leads. Incumbent
Democratic Senator Bill Nelson conceded to Republican opponent and
outgoing Governor Rick Scott Sunday, becoming the fourth Democrat to
lose a Senate seat in the midterm election. The Republicans now have 52
senate seats with Mississippi heading to a runoff next week. Democrat
Andrew Gillum conceded Saturday to Republican Ron de Santis in Florida's
race for governor.
