Republican Byron Donalds has been declared the winner of Florida’s 2026 gubernatorial election, as reported by the Associated Press. He will make history as the first Black governor of Florida.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) celebrated his victory in a statement: “Congratulations to Florida’s next governor, Byron Donalds!”
“Florida is the best place to live, work, and raise a family because of sensible conservative leaders, and Donalds will ensure it stays that way by achieving great results for families, workers, seniors, veterans, and small businesses across the state,” the RNC announced.
Donalds gained endorsements and support from US President Donald Trump and outgoing Governor Ron DeSantis, who has maintained high approval ratings during his eight years in office.
He presented himself as a “common sense” candidate, contrasting with his opponent David Jolly, whom he described as too extreme for Florida.
“Liberal David Jolly represents a change that Florida cannot afford,” Donalds stated on the night he won the Republican primary.
“David Jolly is out of his mind. To make matters worse, he wants to apologize for Florida to the rest of the world on election night.”
