AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
Andrew Gillum, Tallahassee's telegenic former mayor and the 2018 Democratic nominee for Florida governor, was involved in a meth overdose incident early Friday morning in a Miami Beach hotel room.
The incident was an embarrassing and devastating blow to Gillum, a long-serving former city commissioner and mayor who caught fire as a statewide candidate two years ago and still harbored ambitions of becoming governor or holding other high office.
