President Donald Trump headed to Florida as part of a six-day election tour in eight states hoping to help Republicans heading into the midterm election.
Speaking to reporters, Trump called Florida one of his favorite places and noted that Rep. Ron DeSantis' (R-FL) campaign was going "very very well." That isn't entirely accurate. As DeSantis continues to go further right, he's suffered more in the polls.
According to the polls from the University of North Florida, Mayor Andrew Gillum is now up by six points.
Gov. Rick Scott (R-FL) is also in a tight race with Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL). The Senator is ahead of Scott by five points, according to a Reuters poll.
The state will be one to watch for the youth vote as well as Parkland students have worked to register and mobilize high school and college students voting in their first elections. Most of these registrants are not reflected in polling models as there is no record of their past voter participation.

The rally is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. EST (but Trump often runs behind). Watch below:
