Rep. Byron Donalds is considering running for Governor in 2026


Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida is signaling his intentions to run for governor in 2026 by meeting with potential donors and political players. He has sponsored a hospitality suite at a state Republican Party meeting and told key lobbyists and donors that he is running. With the Republican field narrowing due to other candidates stepping aside for different positions, Donalds and Wilton Simpson are emerging as prominent contenders. Donalds, a close ally of Trump, has a high profile and ability to raise significant out-of-state money, while Simpson is a seasoned veteran of Florida politics with significant financial backing. The Republican primary for governor will likely hinge on Trump’s influence in the state, as he is seen as a kingmaker in Florida politics. Donalds is working with key advisors and strategists with ties to Trump and Florida Republican politics. The timeline for when Donalds or any other candidate will officially announce their bids is uncertain, with concerns about potentially leaving Congress too soon. The conclusion of two special congressional races in Florida could impact the timeline. DeSantis, the current governor, is seen as a potential wildcard in the race, as his relationship with Donalds has soured since the latter backed Trump in the GOP presidential primary. There is speculation that DeSantis could endorse a candidate to succeed him, possibly Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez.
