Florida governor candidate Byron Donalds says DeSantis has endorsed him
DeSantis backed the Trump-endorsed Republican nominee after months of public tension, giving Donalds a unified statewide ticket heading into the general election.
- On Tuesday, Governor Ron DeSantis endorsed U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds for governor at a Florida Republican Party forum in Tampa, presenting a unified front for the GOP ticket.
- The endorsement resolves a long-standing rift stemming from Donalds backing Donald Trump over DeSantis in the 2024 presidential primary, previously leaving the governor distant from the campaign.
- Alongside Donalds, DeSantis endorsed Attorney General James Uthmeier, Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia, and Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, urging Floridians to "storm the polls" and vote Republican.
- Democrat David Jolly, a former Republican congressman, continues to campaign on economic issues, arguing the election should focus on the cost of living rather than ideological attacks.
- The race is rated "likely Republican" by Cook Political Report as Donalds faces a challenging general election on November 3 against Jolly, who appears to be gaining traction among independent voters.
