In recent weeks, Florida gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds has made changes to his campaign website, removing prominent references to former President Trump. Despite these alterations, Donalds insists he remains committed to Trump’s agenda, which he describes as focused on law and order, secure borders, and sound markets. During an interview at the Sunshine Economy Summit, Donalds explained that the website updates were intended to emphasize key policy themes like affordability, which are important to Florida voters in the upcoming general election. Although Trump’s endorsement of Donalds is still mentioned on the site, it is less prominent than before. This shift has sparked speculation about whether Donalds is distancing himself from Trump, despite his long-standing support for the former president. The changes were first reported by the Miami Herald and have attracted national attention.
