Byron Donalds wins Florida governor's race, becoming first Black governor

Republican Byron Donalds defeated Democrat David Jolly in Florida's governor's race, according to the Associated Press, making him the state's first Black governor. Donalds, backed by President Donald Trump and a large campaign fund, focused on affordability issues like inflation, housing, and insurance. He promised to continue the conservative policies of outgoing Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who campaigned alongside him. Donalds, 48, served two terms in Congress and previously left the Democratic Party in 2010. Jolly, 54, a former Republican congressman, campaigned on a "believe in better" slogan and criticized Donalds' ties to the AI data center industry.
