Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) has been rumored to be on Donald Trump’s vice president shortlist, but it appears the former president may have different political plans for one of his top young allies.
At a fundraising event in New York City, which Donalds trekked north to attend Tuesday, NBC News reported that Trump asked Donalds if he’s weighed running to be Florida’s governor in 2026 at the end of Ron DeSantis’ second term.
Donalds reportedly responded that people have urged him to make a run at Tallahassee. Trump then hinted at a potential endorsement should he opt to put his name forward, reportedly telling Donalds “he will have many friends in the race” if he does.
