Primary night 2026 is in the past. Florida voters picked the major party’s candidates for governor, U.S. Senate and state Agriculture Commissioner. There's also St. Petersburg’s mayoral runoff that's already getting a bit contentious.

Anyway, it’s time to follow up with a panel of reporters who've been closely watching the campaigns and campaigners.

We also talk about the state's grade for school districts. One local county just earned a coveted A for the first time in a decade. What does it mean for staff and students?

Finally, meet an author shedding light on the mass escape of unaccompanied children from Castro’s communist Cuba to Florida in the early 1960s.
