David Jolly Bets Turnout and Headwinds for Trump-Backed Opponent in Florida Governor Race
TL;DR
The article argues that David Jolly could win Florida’s governor race despite Byron Donalds’ money and Trump endorsement due to three factors: Trump’s waning influence may hurt Donalds in a general election; Donalds’ own unfavorable-to-favorable ratings and weaker performance in rural counties signal vulnerabilities; and Democrat Angie Nixon’s Senate bid could boost turnout among Democrats and progressives, especially in North Florida, helping Jolly as he frames himself as a moderate alternative.
