Democratic candidate for Florida governor Andrew Gillum has conceded to his Republican opponent, former Rep. Ron DeSantis.
"R.J. and I wanted to take a moment to congratulate Mr. DeSantis on becoming the next governor of the great state of Florida," Gillum said in a Facebook video in which he appeared alongside his wife. "This has been the journey of our lives."
