Byron Donalds—to a push for unity ahead of November, with Trump endorsements uneven and turnout potentially soft as DeSantis and Trump sit out this cycle. The party faces internal disputes and races for open seats, but leadership seeks to pivot toward defeating Democrats and preserving GOP control.
