Jolly tests Florida’s status as conservative stronghold in governor’s race against Donalds – WTOP News

  • On Tuesday, Florida voters choose between Republican Byron Donalds and Democrat David Jolly in a gubernatorial race testing the endurance of the state's conservative shift.
  • Republicans maintain a roughly 1.5 million voter registration advantage, building on momentum from outgoing Governor Ron DeSantis, who secured a nearly 20-percentage-point landslide victory in 2022.
  • Seeking to become Florida's first Black governor, Donalds is backed by President Donald Trump, while Jolly, a former Republican from Tampa, campaigns as a centrist to move the state beyond culture wars.
  • Results will indicate whether Trump's national unpopularity extends into his adopted home state, though Republicans are expected to maintain legislative majorities regardless of the gubernatorial outcome.
  • Democrats, seeking their first gubernatorial win since Lawton Chiles in 1994, have been heartened by a string of special election wins over the past year.
