DeSantis is an <br />outspoken supporter <br />of President Donald Trump. Racism stained the campaign <br />in the form of offensive <br />robocalls and a remark <br />made by DeSantis himself. DeSantis' statement that Gillum <br />could "monkey this up" was seen <br />by many as a racist dog whistle. Florida has elected a<br />Republican Governor <br />every election since 1998.
