She told her supporters she congratulated Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, who led the state's Democratic primary race by more than 42,000 votes in a historic upset, the Florida Division of Elections showed. She said Gillum has been a longtime friend and encouraged her supporters to embrace his campaign for governor.
I said, Now, Andrew, go out and win this damn thing, Graham said she told Gillum. Because this is too important for the state of Florida. This is too important. This election was never about the candidate. It was always about the importance for the future of the state that you all love... The future of Florida is at stake.
The former congresswoman expressed her support for Gillum in his race against Trump-backed Florida Republican nominee Ron DeSantis.
We must all put all of our efforts behind Andrew Gillum and make sure that we do everything we can, she said, to have him elected governor on Nov. 6, 2018.
