Byron Donalds Cracks Open 2026 Governor Bid Amid Growing Speculation in Florida Politics

Rep. Byron Donalds is increasing his vocal presence as he considers running for Florida governor in 2026, potentially succeeding term-limited Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. A top ally of Trump, Donalds has been building momentum for a possible bid. The exact timeline remains unclear, but the congressman's comments suggest he is gearing up for the race. As one of DeSantis' most trusted advisors, Donalds would be well-positioned to capitalize on his boss's departure.
