AINews Summary
The biggest recent gubernatorial development is Byron Donalds winning Florida’s Republican primary, setting up a November race against Democrat David Jolly. In Rhode Island, Helena Foulkes beat Gov. Dan McKee in the Democratic primary after polling had shown her ahead. The Trump payment comment is not directly tied to this market. The Florida result strengthens Republicans there, while the Rhode Island primary outcome keeps that race in Democratic hands. The Trump comment is unlikely to move this Washington governor market much on its own.
