Look for both the GOP nominee Donald Trump and his Democratic counterpart, Hillary Clinton to make many trips to the Sunshine State before the first Tuesday in November.

She has become the only person in either party that can go toe to toe with Trump in any arena from Twitter to the late night talk shows. Sen.

Here are a couple of the highlights:
