TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Democrat Andrew Gillum's concession Saturday in the Florida governor's race drew no immediate reaction from Republican Ron DeSantis' campaign, which pointed to an earlier statement in which DeSantis declared the campaign "over." That statement issued Thursday said the machine recount from the governor's race was "clear and unambiguous" and added DeSantis was shifting his focus as he prepared to govern. In that statement, DeSantis also said he was humbled by the support he received.

TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — Some of the Central American migrants who have reached the Mexican border with California in Tijuana say they've been insulted, punched and had rocks thrown at them. Tijuana's mayor says the city is ill-equipped to deal with the influx. It's a stark contrast to the many Mexican communities that welcomed the caravan. In Tijuana, the vast majority are camped at an outdoor sports complex sleeping on a dirt baseball field and under bleachers. Their ranks could swell to as many as 10,000.
