Florida Governor Candidate Says Waffle House Banned Campaign

James Fishback's campaign was banned from Waffle House locations statewide without explanation as he launches a free pop-up to continue voter outreach, Fishback said.

  • On Wednesday, Florida gubernatorial candidate James Fishback said Waffle House Corporate revoked permission and 'criminally trespassed' his campaign from all Florida locations.
  • Amid those controversies, Waffle House Corporate has remained publicly silent while Fishback's campaign faced repeated racist attacks that critics said hampered fundraising.
  • Posting on social media, Fishback said Waffle House Corporate gave explicit permission about 3 weeks ago but revoked it this morning, and he posted photos of large crowds and a statement.
  • Launching the 'Fishback Waffle Home' pop-up, Fishback said his campaign will continue voter outreach in select cities after the ban.
  • Ahead of August 18, a Feb. 24 PORL poll shows 28% support for Byron Donalds, 24% for Casey DeSantis, and 4% for Fishback, indicating he trails the frontrunners.
