STATEMENT: Florida Democrats Respond to Byron Donalds’s Gubernatorial Run
Tonight on Hannity, Byron Donalds announced his run for Florida Governor in 2026. In response, the Florida Democratic Party has issued the following statement:
“Byron Donalds is a dangerous political opportunist who should be nowhere near the governor’s mansion,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried. “One of the least popular people in Tallahassee politics, Byron is best known for skipping votes, defending insurrectionists, and promoting a revisionist version of Black history that defends Jim Crow. He has little political experience and no executive experience, and is completely unqualified to run the state of Florida.
“Byron is only interested in power, and he won’t fix our property insurance crisis or bring down the cost of living for Floridians. He only has a shot at the nomination because Trump endorsed him, and Trump is only endorsing him because he wants a puppet in the governor’s mansion — pissing off Ron DeSantis is an added bonus.”
