Tonight we put aside our differences. Tonight we are one united Republican Party.
The congressman was backed by President Trump to succeed Ron DeSantis, who was term limited. He will face Democrat David Jolly in November.
There is a new coalition emerging in American politics tonight, and it's starting right here in the state of Florida. A coalition rooted in the everyday majority.
Jolly is a former Republican Congressman who switched parties last year. Other notable races, progressive Democrat Angie Nixon, a state rep, has won the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, defeating retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Alex Vinman, a former National Security Council official, who testified at President Trump's first impeachment trial.

The hacking was conducted to benefit the IRGC and other Iranian entities, and nine of the defendants had already been charged in a prior indictment. Eight more were added in Tuesday's filing. Foreign universities and companies were also targets of the hacking campaign.
The Supreme Court being asked to examine a Texas law mandating the Ten Commandments be displayed in schools.
The ACLU is now asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review the matter of a Texas state law directing public schools to hang posters of the Ten Commandments in each classroom.

Supporters of that law argue the Ten Commandments are a historical document and foundational.
