It could be argued that the governorship of a large state is more important than a single Senate seat, as long that Senate seat doesn't determine the chamber's control.
I think that view is correct, especially in a cycle where the new governor got to immediately fill 3 of the 7 seats on the state's supreme court through a nearly unilateral process.
Of course, Florida has NC rules for legislative redistricting, so an opposite party can only veto the congressional map. But the FL legislative maps immediately go to the state supreme court for review, so see the first sentence.
