Late Wednesday night, Trump released a video message calling for post-election unity.
"Emotions are raw and tension just don't heal overnight," he said. "It doesn't go quickly, unfortunately, but we have before us the chance to make history together."
While Trump is in Florida, Vice President-elect Mike Pence will spend the holiday in his home state of Indiana.
