'The race for governor is over': How Donald Trump upended Florida politics

For nearly a decade, Republicans with political aspirations have been haunted by a devastating possibility.

One day, President Donald Trump could publicly endorse a political rival.

That nightmare came true on Thursday for the GOPers eyeing the 2026 Florida governor’s race. Trump posted to Truth Social his “Complete and Total Endorsement” of a potential run by Naples-area U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds.

“Announcement coming soon!” Donalds posted to X in response.
