Byron Donalds Leads Florida Gubernatorial Primary Race

Rep. Byron Donalds (R‑FL) is dominating the Florida gubernatorial primary ahead of the August 18 vote. His campaign has raised over $90 million, including $23 million in the second quarter, and has spent heavily on a $20 million statewide TV and digital advertising blitz. Door‑knocking efforts have reached 180,000 households, and poll data shows Donalds with about 54 % support in a four‑way field, far ahead of his rivals.

Donalds has secured a slate of high‑profile endorsements, including former President Donald Trump, Trump Jr., Senate President Jim Boyd, incoming House Speaker Sam Garrison, Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia, Attorney General James Uthmeier and other Republican leaders. The campaign emphasizes cutting property taxes, reducing insurance rates and addressing affordability for Floridians.
