Democratic voters in U.S have picked Congressman Charlie Crist to take on Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis in the midterm elections.
Mr Crist routed the state’s agriculture commissioner, Nikki Fried, for the race to be the party’s standard-bearer in November’s vote.
Democrats are eager to eclipse rising star Mr DeSantis amid expectations he will run for the White House in twenty-twenty-four.
It was the last big Election Day before the autumn midterms, which will determine control of Congress for the final two years of Democratic President Joe Biden’s term.
