U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist won Florida's Democratic gubernatorial primary on Tuesday, the AP reports. Crist edged out Nikki Fried, the state's agriculture commissioner, in a fight over who will take on Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) in November's general election.
Why it matters: Crist previously served as Florida's Republican governor in 2006 and has said he has the best chance of beating DeSantis in November due to his experience in both parties. He became a Democrat in 2012.
