Florida voters selected major-party nominees for governor, a special U.S. Senate election and several newly redrawn congressional districts in the August 18 primary.

Florida’s August 18 primary set the state’s two biggest statewide matchups for November, with Republican U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds and former U.S. Rep. David Jolly winning their parties’ nominations for governor.

Donalds, who is seeking to succeed term-limited Gov. Ron DeSantis, defeated a Republican field that included Lt. Gov. Jay Collins. Jolly emerged from the Democratic primary. Donalds could become Florida’s first Black governor if elected in November.

In the special election for the remaining two years of former Sen. Marco Rubio’s term, Republican Sen. Ashley Moody won her party’s nomination and will face Democratic state Rep. Angie Nixon. Nixon defeated retired Army Lt. Col. Alex Vindman, a former National Security Council official, in the Democratic primary.

Several consequential South Florida congressional contests were also settled under Florida’s redrawn map. Democratic U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz won the Democratic nomination in District 20 and will face Republican Brent Andersen. In District 25, Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz will face Republican Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer. Oliver Gilbert III won the Democratic nomination in District 24, while former CBS Miami anchor Eliott Rodriguez won the Democratic primary in District 27 and will challenge Republican U.S. Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar.

The results shift the campaign into the general-election phase ahead of the November 3 vote, with the governor’s race, Senate contest and reshaped congressional map expected to remain central to Florida’s midterm politics.
