00:00Donald Trump had much to cheer in the Florida primary results.
00:04Most of the candidates that he backed wound up winning,
00:06and one person that he has long feuded with will not advance to the November ballot.
00:12Byron Donald's in the Republican race for governor, easily outdistancing a field.
00:17Donald Trump had helped clear the race with a very early endorsement.
00:21He'll go on to face David Jolly, a former Republican lawmaker, now turned Democratic centrist.
00:28In the Democratic Senate race, Alex Vindman, a longtime Trump critic who was a key figure in one of his
00:35impeachments,
00:36did not make the final November election.
00:40He lost in a slight upset to a self-described Democratic socialist.
00:45That race is going to be tough for Democrats.
00:48Ashley Moody, the Republican senator, starts out as a prohibitive favorite.
00:52Elsewhere on the primary night, we saw in Alaska, Mary Peltola, the Democrat, advance alongside Dan Sullivan, a Republican.
01:01Now, this is going to be one of the key races in deciding Senate control.
01:06Peltola, an independent-minded Democrat in a state that has elected Democrats before,
01:12as well as a sort of mavericks in their parties.
01:15But, this is a state that voted for Donald Trump three times,
01:19and it's going to be critical if Republicans want to keep Senate control.
