Republican Byron Donalds and Democrat David Jolly set to square off for Florida’s governorship
Byron Donalds and David Jolly won their primaries and will meet in November, with Donalds backed by Donald Trump and a $111 million war chest.
- On Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds secured the Republican nomination for Florida governor, advancing to face Democrat David Jolly in November's general election.
- Empowered by a $111 million war chest, Donalds dominated his opponents throughout the primary, positioning himself to replace the term-limited Governor Ron DeSantis, who must leave office in January.
- With 86% of the vote counted, Donalds captured 48% of the GOP electorate, significantly outpacing Lt. Gov. Jay Collins at 25%, James Fishback at 10%, and Paul Renner at 8%.
- Trump-Endorsed Donalds now pivots to the general election, a contest viewed as a test of the former president's influence, despite Governor Ron DeSantis declining to make an official endorsement.
- Seeking to become Florida's first Black governor, Donalds faces a challenging campaign in a state that has shifted sharply right, where a Democrat has not won since 1994.
