Florida GOP nominee Byron Donalds announced state Sen. Bryan Ávila of Hialeah as his running mate, pairing a Cuban-American veteran and college dean with a hard anti-communist stance to energize Latino and veteran voters in a tight Florida race; the ticket diversifies the slate, boosts Miami-Dade relevance, and frames Democrats as left-leaning in a contest shaped by DeSantis and Trump politics.
Republican Byron Donalds won the GOP nomination and Democrat David Jolly won the Democratic nomination for Florida governor; both will face off in the November 3, 2026 general election, as incumbent Ron DeSantis cannot run again due to term limits. Donalds has Trump’s endorsement and promotes education reform and conservative priorities; Jolly, with Gwen Graham as running mate, emphasizes affordable healthcare, housing, and veteran services.
With term limits preventing a bid for re-election, DeSantis has refused to back Byron Donalds and has instead undercut rivals, sparking a rancorous Florida GOP governor primary marked by staff feuds, lawsuits over residency and ballot challenges, and a national spotlight on DeSantis’ influence as he eyes a 2028 run.
