Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum announced that Chris King is his pick to be lieutenant governor in a Thursday morning Facebook Live.

Watch the announcement, featuring Gillum, King and their wives, R. Jai and Kristen, here.

“We leaned into wanting to choose an individual that has the ability to be the governor of the state of Florida,” Gillum said in the announcement before introducing the Kings.

King, who ran against Gillum in the Democratic gubernatorial primary but placed fifth, was all but certain to be the pick Thursday. That morning, Gillum’s campaign appeared to launch www.gillumking.com, a website touting the ticket.

But King joining the ticket marks a change in the Orlando-area businessman’s thinking since the campaign for governor. In a July interview, he told the Times that the LG position is "not really something that I feel led to do.”
