In the wee hours of the morning, former President Donald Trump was named the winner of the 2024 presidential contest while earning  the support of 58.5 percent of the voters in Sarasota County and 61.2 percent in Manatee County. In closely watched statewide contests, Amendments 3 and 4, which would have legalized the use of recreational marijuana and overturned Florida's six-week abortion ban, both failed to meet the 60 percent approval threshold. But what about our local races? Here's a look at all the winners in Sarasota and Manatee Counties from last night:
