Florida, long seen as the definition of a swing state, may this cycle affirm a rightward shift that would remove it from the list of states seen as seriously competitive.
The state's growth meant it gained a congressional seat in the most recent redistricting, and all 28 seats are up this year, with four of them — the 7th District, the 13th District, the 15th District and the 27th District— seen as especially competitive.
Statewide, Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Marco Rubio, both Republicans, are also facing re-election.
Polls closed in the state at 7 p.m. local time. Given the state has multiple timezones, the first polls closed at 7 p.m. EST and the last polls closed at 8 p.m. EST.
