Florida Governor Candidate Donalds Scrubs Trump Endorsement from Campaign Site

U.S. Representative Byron Donalds has significantly reduced references to President Donald Trump on his campaign website for the Florida governor’s race. The changes, which include removing prominent banners and a photo with the president, coincide with Trump’s falling approval ratings and a tightening race against Democrat David Jolly. While the campaign claims the shift focuses on policy issues like affordability, critics argue it is a strategic retreat from an unpopular leader.

Dem strategist questions Trump’s SC margin despite Graham endorsement

Democratic strategist Chuck Rocha said on NewsNation's Cuomo that while he expects Darline Graham (R-S.C.) to win, Trump’s endorsement may not yield a wide margin. Graham won the Republican runoff over Ralph Norman by just under five points and will face Democrat Annie Andrews in the general election. The Hill notes Decision Desk HQ gives the GOP roughly an 81% chance to win the seat, and Rocha pointed out that turnout and primary dynamics mean Trump’s backing doesn’t guarantee landslide margins.

David Jolly Bets Turnout and Headwinds for Trump-Backed Opponent in Florida Governor Race

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.

Darline Graham Seeks to Carry On Her Brother's Legacy in a Turbulent SC Senate Primary

Darline Graham Nordone, Lindsey Graham’s sister, is running to fill the late senator’s South Carolina seat with President Trump’s endorsement, amid skepticism about her outsider status and whether she’d be a caretaker. She competes against Ralph Norman, Russell Fry, and Mark Sanford in a GOP primary that could require a runoff on Aug. 25 if no candidate clears 50%. Democrats back Annie Andrews for November, and the race is still considered solidly Republican per Cook Political Report.
