Nelson to deliver 'full statement' tomorrow, campaign says. “This is obviously not the result Senator Nelson's campaign has worked hard for," the spokesperson said. "The senator will be making a full statement tomorrow to thank all those who rallied for his cause."

Earlier, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement that President Donald Trump had made congratulatory calls to Scott.

With 99 percent of the vote tallied, Scott, the outgoing GOP governor, had 50.3 percent of the vote, while Nelson had 49.7 percent, a 0.6 percent difference. Florida has a mandatory recount rule if candidates are within 0.5 percent of each other.
