Byron Donalds, a Republican representative, is projected to face Democrat David Jolly in the general election for governor. Donalds' victory marks a rejection of outgoing Governor Ron DeSantis, who did not endorse a candidate and questioned the merits of his potential successors.
Donalds received support from President Donald Trump and much of the state's Republican leadership, countering DeSantis' efforts to influence the contest. DeSantis had considered backing an alternative candidate, including a possible run by Florida's first lady, Casey DeSantis.
Further details on the election and its implications are available from the source, including analysis of the candidates and their campaigns.
