Trump added that he was"all in for Ron" and stepped in when"votes were being stolen by the corrupt Election process."and the U.S. Attorneys, and the ballot theft immediately, just prior to them running out of the votes necessary to win," Trump wrote."I stopped his Election from being stolen.

Trump provided no evidence that FBI agents were involved in Florida's 2018 ballot count, nor have other sources supported his claims. The governor has yet to respond to the claims or Trump's numerous attacks, instead focusing his attention on disaster relief for Hurricane Nicole, which made landfall in Florida as a Category 1 hurricane around 3 a.m. ET on Thursday.
On Friday morning, the National Hurricane Center said that Nicole had moved into south-central Florida heading north with wind speeds reaching upwards of 30 mph.
