According to The Hill, Republican Jim Schwartzel is projected to win Florida's 19th District, based on a projection from Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ), as reported in The Hill's report on the House race. The Hill reported that Schwartzel defeated Democrat Victor Arias, a result that keeps a GOP stronghold in southwest Florida in Republican hands. The outlet identified Schwartzel as a conservative media executive.
The Hill also reported that the victory sends Schwartzel to Washington to replace Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), who gave up the seat to run for office. The report was written by Steff Danielle Thomas, and the summary available for this story does not give vote totals for the 19th District race.
ABC News reported that Florida voters are choosing between Republican Byron Donalds and Democrat David Jolly in the governor's race, which ABC News described as "surprisingly competitive" in its report on the contest. The outlet's headline framed the race as a test of Florida's status as a conservative stronghold.
Neither ABC News nor The Hill, in the summaries reviewed for this report, gives a result in the governor's race. ABC News described voters as choosing between the two candidates, while The Hill's summary covers only the 19th District contest.
ABC News identified Donalds as the Republican candidate in the governor's race, and The Hill identified him as the representative whose seat Schwartzel is projected to fill. Neither summary says when further results will be reported.
