Florida Rep. Charlie Crist had some harsh words for supporters of his Republican opponent, Gov. Ron DeSantis, during his first press conference as the Democratic gubernatorial nominee Wednesday morning.
"Those who support the governor should stay with him and vote for him. And I don't want your vote. If you have that hate in your heart, keep it there," Crist said during his first press conference in St. Petersburg as Florida's Democratic gubernatorial nominee.
Crist added that he only wants the vote of those who "care about our state," including "Good Democrats, good independents [and] good Republicans." Crist said the "silent majority" spoke out during the state's primary elections Tuesday night.
