Neutral Summary
Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) recently addressed changes to his gubernatorial campaign website, which included removing several direct references to Donald Trump. Donalds characterized the media's focus on these edits as a 'misconception' and a 'hot take,' explaining that the updates were part of a planned strategy to appeal to undecided Florida voters. While Donalds maintains he is not a 'yes man' and has policy disagreements with Trump on issues like AI and data centers, both Trump and Donalds reaffirmed their mutual support. The race against Democrat David Jolly appears competitive in recent polling, though Donalds maintains a significant fundraising advantage.
