The campaign run-up to these elections has not been without its fair share of drama.
There was the Kavanaugh scandal, which saw Donald Trump’s pick for the Supreme Court accused of multiple sexual assaults.
Then the recent mail bomb saga began, with 13 alleged mail bombs sent to prominent Democrats within the space of three days.
On Friday, Mr Trump tweeted: “Republicans are doing so well in early voting, and at the polls, and now this ‘Bomb’ stuff happens and the momentum greatly slows – news not talking politics. Very unfortunate, what is going on. Republicans, go out and vote!”
Could Trump lose Florida?
The race for Florida has been a heated one.
Tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillum, 39, is running for governor against Ron DeSantis,40, and hopes to become the first African-American to win the office in the Sunshine State.
The fight between the two has gotten dirty, and the polls are suggesting the two are neck and neck.
Mr DeSantis, a Republican war veteran, said of his Democrat rival in their first debate: “He’s presided over a crime-ridden city. He’s involved in corruption.”
He added: “He’s not the guy to lead our state.”
For his part, Mr Gillum has worked to paint Mr DeSantis as a Trump “acolyte” while insisting he himself would be happy to work with the president, despite considering him “a bully”.
“This is not Russia. You shouldn’t have to kiss the ring of the president of the United States for the president to see to the goodwill of the third largest state in all of America,” Mr Gillum said at the podium.
Mr Gillum, potentially the state’s first African-American governor, has also repeatedly called out Mr DeSantis for making the contest about race.
Mr Gillum said: “He has only continued in the course of his campaign to draw all the attention he can to the colour of my skin.
“The truth is, I’ve been black all of my life. So far as I know, I will die black,” he joked in Fort Lauderdale.
“I’m not calling Mr DeSantis a racist. I’m simply saying the racists consider him a racist,” he repeated at their next encounter in Davie.
Gun control, healthcare, climate change and the economy have been key issues in debates between the candidates.
In the wake of Hurricane Michael, which battered the Florida panhandle, Mr Gillum seized an opportunity to direct barbs at his opponent.
“What Florida voters need to know is that when they elect me governor, they are going to have a governor who believes in science,” he said.
On the economy, Mr DeSantis insisted his opponent could wreak havoc of his own by raising corporate tax and the minimum wage, driving investment away.
Mr Gillum has found himself embroiled in a bizarre scandal apparently involving an undercover FBI agent posing as a contractor offering him tickets to the Broadway musical Hamilton as part of a sting operation.
The candidate has laughed off the affair. “In the state of Florida, we have many issues. And tickets to Hamilton ain’t one of them.”
Mr DeSantis has faced criticism for stoking fear over law and order, suggesting in a debate that “undocumented immigrant child molesters” could stalk the streets of sanctuary cities, a claim rubbished by his opponent.
