Trump’s Pick Faces Growing Resistance in Florida
It now appears Representative Byron Donalds will have to fight through a tough and potentially bitter campaign. Once seen as a leading contender to succeed Governor Ron DeSantis, Donalds now faces increasing resistance from fellow Republicans across Florida.
Many GOP figures are distancing themselves or quietly supporting alternative candidates, sensing that Donalds’ close association with Donald Trump could polarize the race. Party insiders note that the contest might soon escalate into one of the fiercest Republican primaries in the state’s recent history.
“Donalds will be forced to grind it out in a race that could turn bitter and nasty quickly.”
Background and Reactions
Republican leaders in the state remain divided. Some praise Donalds’ conservative credentials and charisma, while others question whether he can unify Florida’s Republican base after years of factional tension. Strategists warn that the longer this intra-party clash continues, the greater the chance of weakening the GOP ahead of the next gubernatorial election.
Author’s Summary: Byron Donalds, Trump’s favored successor to DeSantis, is facing tough internal GOP resistance as the Florida race threatens to turn bitter.
