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.
