Republicans expressed frustration that major news outlets are refusing to call a Trump victory in Florida, despite the president having a commanding lead in the Sunshine State.

Trump maintained a strong position in Florida, where the bulk of its votes have been counted. As of 10:30 p.m. ET, Trump was leading in the must-win battleground by 3.5 percentage points, or over 381,000 votes.
