WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has thrown his significant support behind a potential 2026 Florida gubernatorial candidate.

The president said Republican Representative Byron Donalds would have his complete and total support.

Representative Donalds seemed ready to accept the endorsement, saying he would soon announce his plans.

If Donalds does jump into the gubernatorial race with Trump's backing, it would make it extremely difficult for any other GOP candidate to challenge for the nomination in a gubernatorial primary.
