Donalds is making public overtures toward Gov. Ron DeSantis, with whom he acknowledged he has had a falling out.

U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds says he’s running to be the next governor of Florida in 2026. If elected, he would succeed Gov.

Donalds, a Congressman from Naples, hasn’t had much to say about the DeSantis family positioning itself for a third term in Tallahassee. He has preferred to let the endorsement from Trump, who won by double digits over Kamala Harris in November, do the talking for him.
