Despite numbers that were deemed “too close to call” at the hour by NBC — Gillum secured 48.9& of the vote while Desantis held 49.9% — the democratic candidate announced his concession in a speech given from his Tallahassee campaign headquarters around 10:45 PM. As he stated in his speech (via NBC News ): “Even though I won’t be the next governor of Florida, I still plan to be on the front lines. We still have to be willing to show up every single day and demand our seat at the table. I still believe and I still trust in the voters. I still believe that there is more of us that believe in what is common and what is decent.” A BIG loss for the democratic party and the anticipated “Blue Wave” this election was set to bring. We’ll continue watching the poll results this evening to give you further updates on integral races. Wilfredo Lee-Pool/Getty Images/Chris O’Meara-Pool/Getty Images

C candidates were making their final pushes on Election Day eve to turn out the vote, with celebrities expected to help make the case to Floridians. In one of the most widely watched races in the nation, music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was expected to lead a rally Monday night at Florida A&M University for Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum . See Also: Political Races To Watch In 2018 Midterm Elections Featuring Black Candidates “I am so proud to endorse Andrew Gillum, who will become the first Black governor of Florida,” Combs said in a video, underscoring that he’s not endorsing Gillum because he’s Black. “He’s running a campaign for the people. I’ve spoken to him at length. I believe in him — his focus, his ideas, what he stands for.” Diddy was scheduled to be joined by several other stars, including Tiffany Haddish and Will Packer. Gillum continued to hold on to a slim lead in the polls, according to the NBC News/Marist survey released Monday. The Tallahassee mayor had an edge of four percentage points over former Rep. Ron DeSantis , a Republican who has the full endorsement of President Donald Trump . Meanwhile, in Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams reiterated her dismissal of rival Brian Kemp ’s unsubstantiated claim that state Democrats may have hacked into computers that hold voter registration data. It was another example of Georgia Secretary of State Kemp’s “pattern of voter suppression,” she told “CBS This Morning” on Monday. Abrams, who could become the nation’s first African-American governor, planned to spend part of Monday campaigning in southwestern Georgia. Several high-profile politicians and celebrities have campaigned for Abrams, including former President Barack Obama, media legend Oprah Winfrey and rapper Common.

This team knocked on 62,000 doors and made 100,000 phone calls on Sunday, with plans to repeat that effort on Election Eve. Delgado is part of the blue wave that Democrats hope will help them retake the House of Representatives. Republican John Faso currently holds New York’s 19th Congressional District seat, but Democrats believe they have a good chance to swing the district, which is 90 percent white, over to their side. Recent polls showed Delgado and Faso in a statistical tie. Yesterday we knocked on over 62,000 doors and we are heading out to hit even more!!

Back in August, Alaskan Bush People star Noah Brown married Rhain Alisha in a beautiful, low-key ceremony. Now it’s another member of the Brown family’s turn. This time, it’s Gabe Brown — who filed for a marriage license before anyone heard a word about an engagement! RadarOnline reports that Gabe Brown is either married already — or about to be. A clerk at the Marriage License Office in Okanogan, Washington says that Gabe and his girlfriend got their marriage papers last month. “Gabriel Brown and Raquell Pantilla filed for a marriage license in person on October 8,” the clerk confirms. Raquell is not unfamiliar to fans who follow the Brown family on social media. In fact, it was Gabe’s youngest sister Rain who revealed Gabe’s relationship with Raquell “Rose” Pantilla. Rain has joked about beinga third wheel, but she and Raquell have described each other as the best of friends. A source close to the Brown family didn’t quite confirm Gabe’s marriage, but didn’t exactly deny it, either. “They have been spending a lot of time together,” the family source acknowledged. The insider affirmed that “really likes her.” We’ve all been able to tell that much just from watching them on social media. Just look at this photo that Gabe shared of his and Raquell’s hands forming a heart together. Now, as we were all so recently reminded with Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin, a marriage license can be a little ambiguous. We looked it up, and Washington state law says that a marriage license has a three-day waiting period. (That, folks, is to prevent people who are blitzed out of their minds from having impulsive weddings with someone they just met) After those three days are over, the couple has 60 days in which to have their wedding. After that, if they have not held a wedding, the marriage license becomes invalid. If our understanding that this gives Gabe and Raquell a total of 63 days in which to tie the knot is correct, they must hold their wedding by December 10. Just because Gabe and Raquell need to hold a wedding between October 11 and December 10 doesn’t mean that it has to be large. Noah’s wedding, after all, was a pretty small event. It is entirely possible that Gabe and Raquell have already had a wedding somewhere on the Brown family’s private, spacious homestead. If your dad buys 435 acres of land , we sure hope that there’s enough room for you to get married on it. If so, we hope that they’ll make an announcement about it soon. But they still have an entire month — and some change — to hold that wedding. Maybe it hasn’t happened yet. Gabe Brown has not always been so lucky in love. In late November of last year, Rain warned her fans and followers that an imposter was pretending to be Gabe Brown . This imposter was catfishing fans, some of whom developed real feelings for the fake Gabe. Months later, when fans learned of Gabe’s relationship with Raquel, some accused Gabe of seducing them — having ignored Rain’s warning. These fans may have seen Rain’s warning but refused to believe that they were being catfished. We’re glad that Gabe and Raquell were able to get past that. Still, Gabe and Raquell have only been dating for … possibly less than a year. Though Raquell has been getting along well with the Brown family — especially with Rain — some wonder if they’re rushing things. It’s always a little surprising when a couple goes from “dating” to “married” (or close enough) without any real engagement in between. But sometimes, couples just know. Congratulations to Gabe and Raquell! View Slideshow: Alaskan Bush People: 13 Secrets They Don’t Want You to Know
Vincent Sandoval/WireImage Michelle Williams Speaks On Chad Johnson Engagement Michelle Williams is speaking out further on her Chad Johnson engagement. The “Chad Loves Michelle” star and her fiance sat down with Robin Roberts Friday to discuss a number of topics including her depression battle. According to Michelle while she was in a treatment facility for the illness, her fiance was understanding of her need to get help. She also added that after treatment she no longer labels people as “crazy.” “Michelle has a great perspective on it because the brain is an organ as well,” Johnson said. “If we have a kidney problem, we go get it checked, if we heart problem, we go get it checked. But when it comes to the brain for some reason we label people as crazy.” Williams chimed in, “When I was in the mental health facility, I didn’t see anybody that looked crazy. I didn’t see anybody strapped up, I didn’t see anybody doing crazy behavior. And literally since then, I watch my mouth. I don’t call people crazy anymore. Some people…they just need help.” She also added that Chad managed to love her “in sickness and in health” despite them not even being married. “I said ‘Babe, I will understand if you leave. I can go to bed at night knowing that you left because were praying for a wife but not a depressed one,’” Williams said. “But he showed me sickness and in health already before marriage.” Shoutout to Chad for sticking it out with Michelle, some other men would’ve left.

Farrah Abraham is a mess. You know it, we know it, whatever random person who knows nothing about Teen Mom but has seen a friend post something on Facebook about her sex tape knows it. Literally everyone who has every heard of Farrah, even in passing, even just once, knows it. But man, she really proved it earlier this year when she got herself arrested at that hotel , huh? You probably remember all the details because it really was just an insane little story, but let’s go over the details real quick, just in case. Back in June, Farrah was staying at a hotel in Beverly Hills with her daughter, Sophia. While little Sophia was asleep upstairs, being watched over by a nanny, Farrah was down in the lounge, making a scene. For whatever reason, she began yelling at other hotel guests, cursing and really just being Farrah at them. It was bad enough that a security guard was called over to escort her away, but by then, she was already too fired up. According to the guard and several witnesses, she assaulted the poor man by grabbing his head and shaking it. She also hit him in the face with her forearm because … well, we’re sure it seemed like a good idea to her at the time. After that, someone had the good sense to call the police, but you know our girl didn’t react too well to that. Farrah reportedly gave the officers a hearty “go f-ck yourselves,” and she tried pulling the “don’t you know who I am?” card a few times. Believe it or not, the police officers were not impressed, and she spent the night in jail. A few weeks later, she was charged with battery , and also with resisting arrest. If found guilty, she was facing up to 18 months in jail. Pretty neat, right? She was ultimately offered a plea deal, and if she accepted it, the battery charge would be dropped altogether. Instead of going to jail, she’d have a few years of probation, as well as mandatory anger management classes. It definitely would have been smart to take that deal, but Farrah is not exactly known for being smart. Instead, she refused the deal and maintained her innocence . Because, you know, the police officers, the security guard, and all the hotel guests who witnessed this nightmare all came up with the exact same lie. So she turned down the deal a couple of times , but yesterday, she had one more hearing. What happened? Well, this time around, Farrah actually managed to get a little bit of sense. She pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor, the resisting arrest one, and after she did that, she received her sentence. And sorry, but she won’t be going to jail (this time). Nope, she’s on probation for two years, and she also has to complete five days of community service and 12 hours of anger management. Don’t worry though, because nobody broke that delusional spirit of hers ! “In my eyes I’m not guilty as my property was still at the hotel and people were setting me up, withholding my phone and my car,” she said in a statement to E! News. View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham Defends Parenting: I Swear I’m Not a Junkie OR a Porn Star! “I’ve already completed the anger management, and will finish community service and will follow through on probation.” How wild is it that after all that, she’s still able to say that she’s innocent with a straight face? Then again, if she wasn’t able to do that, she wouldn’t be Farrah, now would she?
Source: gradyreese / Getty Having a sister is one of the coolest, most dramatic, loving, emotionally taxing experiences you can have in this life time. Having a sister is like having a built-in best friend, if you get along with them. Whether you’re sisters by blood, through marriage, sorority or friends who call themselves sisters, the bond is unlike any other human relationship. Even on the grander scheme of life, women are starting to band together more as a larger sisterhood, standing together against forces that try to tear us down —i.e. the male dominated government, entertainment industry, workforce, etc. Unity is key when it comes to sisterhood. Just ask Oprah who stressed the importance of sisterhood in her campaign speech for Georgia Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams . She proclaimed, “Only when we unite as sisters – and I don’t just mean ‘sistas’ – I mean sisters – black sisters, brown sisters, white sisters, Asian sisters, LGBTQ sisters. When we all unite, I know for sure a change is going to come.” Tyler Perry tapped into the unbreakable bond of sisterhood with his latest film Nobody’s Fool starring Tika Sumpter and Tiffany Haddish as siblings with totally opposite morals, values and goals in life. Tiffany revealed to Bustle what it was like working with Tika, saying, “I feel like we knew each other in a past life, and we finally met up in this life, and we making money now girl! Because we was poor in the other life,” Haddish says. Sumpter laughs, and adds, “We was stomping roaches together.” Don’t get us wrong — there are some downsides to having sisters that people without siblings can’t relate too. Like constantly being compared to them, the fights can get pretty catty and not to mention they steal your clothes. @WeeGeeFiji from Twitter tweeted, “The best thing about having 3 younger sisters is that we get to share everything from clothes to makeup which tbh is also the worst thing about having 3 sisters.” But the pros of being apart of a sisterhood can outweigh the bad. In the words of Cali Rae Turner, “The best thing about having a sister was that I always had a friend.” Facts, Cali! Be sure to check out Nobody’s Fool hitting theaters this weekend, and hit the flip for more films that you and your sister should watch together.
