With less than two weeks until Election Day, campaigns across the state are in high gear, with President Donald Trump stumping for Republicans during a stop in Fort Myers and Democrats rallying in Tallahassee.
Trump flew from the White House to Fort Myers early Friday afternoon.
"Hello, Florida. We love you, Florida," Trump said. "I'm thrilled to be back in my home state, Florida."
During the rally, Trump encouraged voters to support Republican candidates in the upcoming election.
"Eleven days from now, the people of Florida are going to elect Byron Donalds as your next governor. And we're going to elect Ashley Moody to the United States Senate," Trump said.
Moody is running against Angie Nixon, while Donalds faces David Jolly in the gubernatorial race.
Both Jolly and Nixon spoke at a campaign event Friday at Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, where he told the crowd that he believes FAMU has been illegally underfunded for decades.
"It's very simple, folks. FAMU is owed two billion dollars. And we don't need a court to tell us that. We just need to do the right thing," Jolly said.
Early voting is underway across Florida, with Election Day set for Nov. 3.
Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are scheduled to vote Saturday morning before leaving for another event in Georgia Saturday night.
