Andrew Gillum, the 2018 Democratic nominee for governor of Florida, told Tamron Hall he identifies as bisexual in an interview that aired Monday.
“You just asked the question. You put it out there whether I identify as gay. And the answer is, I do not identify as gay, but I do identify as bisexual,” Gillum said.
It was his first sit down interview since a March incident in a Miami Beach hotel room, where he was reportedly found unresponsive while another man there was reportedly suffering a drug overdose, according to media reports at the time. Hall devoted the season premiere of her talk show to the conversation, asking Gillum about the incident and how it affected his career.
Gillum, who lost the 2018 governor’s race to Ron DeSantis, said he struggled with depression afterward and drinking heavily. He told Hall he was dealing with a lot after the loss. Emergency responders reportedly found him with stable vital signs, and he left the hotel.
The full interview aired Monday at 2 p.m.
