Gillum Revokes Concession – Trump Falsely Accuses Democrats of ‘Trying to Steal’ Elections

Democratic nominee for Florida governor Andrew Gillum has just issued a statement revoking his gracious and eloquent concession after the Florida unofficial vote count shows him within about 33,000 votes, or 0.41% away from Republican Ron DeSantis.
I am replacing my earlier concession with an unapologetic and uncompromised call to count every vote.

The Florida Secretary of State has ordered a machine recount of the gubernatorial, U.S. Senate, and the Department of Agriculture races, WFTV reports.
U.S. Democratic Senator Bill Nelson is about 12,500 votes, or 0.15% away from Republican Rick Scott.
President Trump has claimed Democrats are trying to “steal” both the gubernatorial and senate elections, which is a lie.
Trying to STEAL two big elections in Florida! We are watching closely!
