Rep. Byron Donalds won Florida’s Republican primary for governor and former Rep. David Jolly won the Democratic nomination, setting up a November race to replace term-limited Gov. Ron DeSantis. Donalds, endorsed by President Donald Trump, took about 49% in an 11-candidate GOP field, with Lt. Gov. Jay Collins second at about 25%. Jolly is a former Republican congressman who ran as a Democrat and defeated five primary opponents. Florida last elected a Democratic governor in 1994.
