President Trump took to Truth Social to all but endorse U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds as the next Governor of Florida in 2026. Donalds responded by indicating his intent to run, citing his commitment to Trump’s America First agenda. Trump praised Donalds as a “TOTAL WINNER” with a strong family and a dedication to key issues like border security and economic power. Donalds has taken steps towards a run for Governor, including hiring prominent campaign staffers. Trump’s endorsement further solidifies Donalds’ potential candidacy, with the former President urging him to formally enter the race. This move comes after Trump previously hinted at wanting Donalds to seek higher office and endorsed state Senator Joe Gruters for Florida Chief Financial Officer. The race for Governor in 2026 is heating up as candidates like Donalds and potentially Casey DeSantis, wife of Governor Ron DeSantis, start to position themselves for a run. Trump’s influence in Republican politics is evident, with his endorsement being seen as crucial for any candidate seeking statewide office. It remains to be seen how Trump’s endorsement will impact the race and which candidates will ultimately emerge as frontrunners in the upcoming election.
