- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Republicans nominated Rep. Byron Donalds and Democrats nominated former Rep. David Jolly to compete for the governorship of Florida in the general election on November 3. Donalds, a close ally of Donald Trump, won the Republican primary with 764,284 votes. Jolly, a former Republican who became a Democrat last year, won the Democratic primary with 727,261 votes. Donalds focused his campaign on data center regulations, property tax reforms, and his support for the Trump administration. Jolly described his victory as the start of a new coalition in American politics.
Other primary results included the victory of state Rep. Angie Nixon in the Democratic Senate primary. In the race to replace Donalds in Florida's 19th District, Jim Schwartzel defeated Catalina Lauf, the candidate preferred by Donald Trump. Additionally, Rep. Cory Mills lost his House seat to a former news anchor. The Department of Justice Civil Rights Division monitored polling locations in Florida and Wyoming to ensure federal law compliance and ballot security.
Reporting on the results varied by political lean. Center left sources framed the night as a sign that Donald Trump's endorsements are not a guarantee of victory, noting that Donalds failed to reach a 50 percent threshold and that other Trump backed candidates have lost in other states. In contrast, center right reporting framed the results as a clear victory for Donalds, highlighting his strong support across several major Florida counties and the immediate congratulations he received from Donald Trump.

- Centre-left
- Framed the results as a potential sign of weakness in Trump's endorsement power and a lack of overwhelming support for Donalds.
- Centre-right
