Byron Donalds used an interview to call for the Cuban regime to fall and discussed illegal migration from Cuba, as he campaigns for Florida governor. The article also reports his polling and fundraising figures and Donald Trump's endorsement.
In an interview with journalist Ilia Calderón, Florida gubernatorial candidate and U.S. Representative Byron Donalds said the Cuban regime “must fall” and compared it with Iran’s government. He said he hoped Cuba would see more investment and opportunity after the Castro regime, including Díaz-Canel, was gone. Donalds also discussed Cubans entering the United States illegally through Mexico. These are Donalds’ stated views, as reported by the article.
The article says Donalds had formally qualified for the Florida governor’s race, reported his account of a 45-point lead in the Republican primary polls, and gave survey and campaign-finance figures. It also says Donald Trump endorsed Donalds in May and that the primary is scheduled for August 18, 2026.
