AINews Summary

Byron Donalds has started his Florida governor campaign and remains the clear Republican frontrunner in early polling. On the Democratic side, David Jolly has picked Gwen Graham as his running mate and is trying to build a more competitive statewide ticket. The race is still framed as a Republican hold, but Democrats are leaning on affordability and other local issues to narrow the gap. The latest news mostly reinforces Donalds as the early favorite, especially with his strong primary polling and Trump backing. Jolly’s ticket launch may improve Democratic organization, but the overall market still looks tilted toward Republicans.
