Byron Donalds Expected to Announce Running Mate During Miami Event
Donalds will outline his next campaign step as he seeks to become Florida’s first Black governor and faces David Jolly in November.
- On Tuesday, Republican gubernatorial candidate Representative Byron Donalds will announce his running mate at 10 a.m. at Miami's Freedom Tower, finalizing his ticket against Democratic nominee David Jolly.
- The historic Freedom Tower, which documents Miami's Cuban-American history, signals Donalds' intent to reclaim support in the politically influential county amid recent concerns over affordability and immigration policy.
- Political speculation centers on two South Florida state senators as potential contenders: State Sen. Bryan Avila, a veteran and military captain who represents Cuban-majority communities, and Doral-based legislator State Sen. Ana Maria Rodriguez.
- Following his Democratic primary victory last week, Jolly selected former Congresswoman Gwen Graham as his running mate, positioning both campaigns for the November general election.
- Endorsed by President Donald Trump, Donalds aims to become Florida's first Black governor while campaigning on an 'American-first' platform to succeed Governor Ron DeSantis.
