Ron DeSantis has won the Republican nomination for governor in Florida, defeating Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam. With 50.6% of precincts reporting (3,020/5,968), Representative DeSantis led Mr. Putnam 55.8% to 37.3%.

The commissioner was long-thought by media pundits to be the favorite in the race. But President Donald Trump put his full endorsement behind the congressman, who has been a staunch ally in Washington.
