What's happening in Florida
Updated Nov. 8 at 10:54 p.m. Republican Marco Rubio has beaten Patrick Murphy, a Democrat, in the race for the Florida Senate seat currently held by Rubio.
Rubio was knocked out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination during the primaries, and flip-flopped on whether he would run for reelection. His reelection bid was considered a likely look forward to the 2020 presidential election.

A widely circulated video showed Grayson getting confrontational with a reporter who asked him about the story.
