On September 22, 2026, it was reported that Rep. Byron Donalds, a Republican from Florida, appears to be moving away from President Donald Trump. This is evident as his campaign for Florida’s gubernatorial race grows more competitive.
Donalds, in an apparent strategic shift, has reduced references to the president on his campaign website. This change comes as polls suggest that Trump’s popularity is waning. With the general election looming in November, Donalds joins a list of Republican candidates who have begun to reassess their association with Trump.
Photographs from a recent event at the University of Central Florida, where Donalds engaged with students, illustrate his active campaigning in the state. The move to rebrand his campaign image may reflect an attempt to appeal to a broader electorate as he vies for the governor’s seat.
