Republican gubernatorial nominee Ron DeSantis told Florida voters not to “monkey this up” by voting for his Democratic opponent Andrew Gillum, who would be the first black governor in the state’s history.

DeSantis, who is supported by President Trump, said in a Fox News interview Wednesday that Gillum is “much too liberal for Florida” and an “articulate spokesman for those far-left views.”
