Rep. Byron Donalds is gaining major support in his race to become Florida’s next governor. President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson have both thrown their weight behind him. Trump’s endorsement is seen as a game-changer, with polls showing Donalds leading Casey DeSantis by nearly double when voters know he has the President’s backing.
Donalds’ campaign is riding high on the America First agenda. He’s promising to fight for conservative values and keep Florida red. Speaker Johnson called him a “principled leader” who will stand up for Trump’s policies. This kind of support from Washington heavyweights signals Donalds is the candidate to beat.
The DeSantis family isn’t giving up without a fight. Governor Ron DeSantis has been pushing his wife, Casey, as a possible contender. But Trump’s influence looms large. Internal polls reveal that once voters learn Trump backs Donalds, his lead over Casey DeSantis jumps to 22 points. Many conservatives see this as payback for Ron DeSantis challenging Trump in the 2024 primaries.
Florida Republicans are tired of intra-party drama. They want a governor who’s fully aligned with Trump’s vision. Donalds’ message of unity and loyalty to the MAGA movement is resonating. Critics argue the DeSantis family is out of step with the base after Ron’s failed presidential run.
Special elections in Florida this week are testing Republican strength. Donalds urged voters to turn out, warning that low participation could hurt Trump’s agenda. He’s confident GOP voters will deliver wins, but Democrats are pouring money into tight races. Conservatives see these elections as a preview of 2026.
Casey DeSantis faces an uphill battle. Even with her husband’s support, she struggles to match Trump’s endorsement power. Polls show her trailing Donalds even before most voters know he’s Trump’s pick. Some Republicans worry a DeSantis-Donalds feud could split the party, but Trump’s backing seems to be uniting the base.
Donalds is framing himself as the true heir to Trump’s legacy. He’s crisscrossing the state, promising to protect borders, cut taxes, and stand up to “woke” policies. His rallies draw enthusiastic crowds, while the DeSantis camp has stayed quiet. Many believe the governor’s race is Donalds’ to lose.
The 2026 election could cement Florida’s status as Trump country. With high-profile endorsements and strong poll numbers, Donalds is positioned to keep the state red. Conservatives are rallying behind him, eager to show the rest of the nation how to win the MAGA way.
