Florida's Primary (1 incumbent (R) has likely lost and one everyone is still viable)

https://www.politico.com/2020-election/results/florida/

While most of it is rather bland and predictable coming in, there are two primaries that are worth watching

District-3: Both primaries
About 87% of the precincts have reported and both parties primaries are not givens
On the Democratic side, about 1,200 votes separate first from third (2.1%)
On the Republican side, the leader has 25% of the vote, with three others trailing. Cammack will probably win given she has a 6% lead over 2nd place. But, it is still worth watching.

In the 15th District incumbent Republican congressman Ross Spano appears to have lost his primary.
I know nothing about Scott Franklin, but I'm guessing he's an uber-trumpist

His tv ads show him as a military pilot before pivoting to attacking those commie Democrats while professing his boundless love for Trump and his policies.

Ross Spano reportedly is a crook, so Franklin's win is not surprising.
