On September 22, 2026, Rep. Byron Donalds, a Republican from Florida, engaged with students at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. As he vies to become the state’s next governor, recent developments suggest he is distancing himself from President Donald Trump, at least in terms of his campaign’s online presence.
This week, Donalds adjusted his campaign website by reducing references to Trump. This move aligns with a trend among Republican candidates who are moving away from the unpopular president as they approach the November general election. Donalds’ actions suggest a strategic repositioning in his political campaign.
