Byron Donalds won the Republican nomination for Florida governor, while former Rep. David Jolly won the Democratic nomination. The article also reports results in a U.S. Senate special election and several U.S. House primaries.
Florida voters nominated U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds and former Rep. David Jolly for governor. Donalds said President Donald Trump’s backing mattered but would not by itself win the general election; he has promised tax cuts and changes to insurance regulations and health care price transparency. Jolly described a platform that includes a smaller government role in people’s lives and action on education and housing.
In the Senate special election, Angie Nixon won the Democratic nomination over Alexander Vindman and will face Sen. Ashley Moody, the Republican nominee. In House primaries, Debbie Wasserman Schultz defeated Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick in a redrawn district, and Ryan Elijah defeated Rep. Cory Mills.

35 OUTLETSByron Donalds won Florida’s Republican gubernatorial nomination, setting up a November race against Democratic nominee David Jolly. Left-leaning outlets present Donalds’s primary showing as a potential problem for Republicans. Center outlets mostly treat the result as a straightforward nomination and matchup, while some examine Trump’s endorsement and the November race’s competitiveness. Right-leaning outlets foreground Trump’s backing of Donalds and cast Jolly’s shift from Republican to Democrat critically.
