- Austin Durrer, the campaign manager for Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist, is leaving the campaign just 20 days before Election Day.
- Crist faces long odds against popular incumbent Gov. Ron DeSantis, but the campaign insists Durrer’s departure is not connected to Crist’s flagging campaign.
- “Austin Durrer has departed the campaign to focus on a family matter,” campaign spokesperson Samantha Ramirez said.
- Sydney Throop, who ran Crist’s previous congressional campaigns, will replace Durrer.
