Wednesday night, First Coast voters heard from four congressional candidates at two events.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump and Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden are courting Florida voters with a virtual Town Hall and campaign stop in Miami, respectively.
The virtual presidential debate initially scheduled for Thursday night was canceled upon Trump’s refusal to participate.
Back on the First Coast, incumbent U.S. Rep. Al Lawson (D-FL5) and Republican challenger Gary Adler took part in a virtual forum while incumbent U.S. Rep. John Rutherford (R-FL4) debated Democratic challenger Donna Deegan.
