Charlie Crist to Challenge Ron DeSantis in Florida Gubernatorial Race
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Florida, the state's former Republican Governor Charlie Crist won
Florida's Democratic primary for governor on Tuesday. Congressmember
Crist will face Republican Governor Ron De Santis in November. Crist
spoke on Tuesday night.
bq. Rep. Charlie Crist: "The stakes could not be any higher for this
election. Our fundamental freedoms are literally on the ballot, my
friends. A woman's right to choose, on the ballot. Democracy, on the
ballot. Your rights as minorities are on this ballot. That's what's at
stake in this election. Make no mistake about it, because this guy wants
to be president of the United States of America, and everybody knows it.
However, when we defeat him on November 8, that show is over."
