Gov. DeSantis…..I admire you, support you and I am thankful for all that you have accomplished on behalf of my family, Florida’s families and Floridas small businesses, but there is no way in hell that would ever vote for Byron Donalds. I have other better choices.
Byron is a conman who is funded by the wealthy corrupt special interests from around the country. His loyalties are to them, not Floridas families and small businesses.
Here, take a look:
Approximately $167–168 million in total (as of late October 2026), with the large majority in his affiliated PAC.
Byron Donalds (R), the U.S. Representative running for Florida governor in the November 3, 2026, general election against Democrat David Jolly, has raised money primarily through two channels:
• Friends of Byron Donalds PAC (his main political committee): About $150.1 million as of around October 26, 2026. This figure comes from reporting by Florida journalist Jason Garcia citing Florida Division of Elections records and includes major late donations such as an additional $5 million from Ken Griffin (bringing Griffin’s total to $15 million). Other large donors include Jeff Yass (~$7.5 million), the Seminole Tribe of Florida (millions), GEO Group, and various real estate, gambling, and corporate interests. Florida law allows these PACs to accept unlimited contributions (unlike direct candidate accounts).
• His official candidate campaign committee: Roughly $17–18 million, including nearly $1.2 million in public matching funds from Florida’s program for small individual donations ($250 or less from Florida residents). Earlier October reports put this near $17 million, with additional matching funds distributed later.
Aggregators and analyses (OpenSecrets, Transparency USA, news reports) have cited totals in the $148–150 million range for combined or PAC-heavy figures earlier in the month; the ~$150.1 million PAC total reflects more complete late-October data. Donalds has held a large cash-on-hand advantage (tens of millions more than Jolly) heading into the final stretch, despite some tightening in polls. Exact figures continue to update with ongoing reports to the Florida Division of Elections.
And here’s the official records of donations to Byron’s political PAC, Friends of Byron Donalds. This is who Byron would be working for if he were to win, not Florida’s hard working families nor Florida’s small business owners:

What a morning in Brooksville!
Thank you, Hernando County, for packing Luigi's Pizza. Proud to stand with Governor @RonDeSantis and @GovGoneWild.
6 days left. Let's keep Florida free!
I put principles above party. Sorry but not sorry!
If you love Florida and you love freedom, get out and vote for @ByronDonalds as our next governor!

The easiest way to make America great again

3X Trump voter btw

Trump and Republicans have done such a lousy job, Democrats actually have good chance to pick up many seats in Congress.
Who is guilty? The Republicans are. They have wasted 2 years eating manure and doing nothing except kiss Trump's ass.
Sorry if the truth hurts.

These two are so corrupt—we’re so screwed. We’re left with two bad choices for governor. Why? Is this the best the Republican Party has to offer to carry on in @GovRonDeSantis’s footsteps? Sad 😢

Here’s what I’ve always stood for. Too bad all of the Republican leaders in the swamp betrayed these principles just to satisfy corporate and foreign lobbies. A lot of Republican congressmen who followed them off the cliff are probably regretting their decisions right about now.
I'm on the same page...
Well, I voted today. As many of you know, I had contemplated not voting for the first time in my adult life. I guess civic duty won out.
I normally vote straight ticket republican and have for 45 years. Today, I voted for ONE Republican, quite a few Libertarians, a write in candidate and two Democrats.
The Republican Party took a loyal voter like myself and spit in my face. Instead of doing what I always do and just vote R, I said NO.
I am of the belief the only thing that will correct the collusion course Republicans are on is to let the collusion occur, then throw every established leader out of the party and start over. At every local and state level the Republican party is corrupt. This is why bad candidates are put forth by the party. They choose the candidate and you are expected to conform to their choice. This is why burning it all down is the only way forward.
If this cannot be accomplished a new party of the people must be formed, it's the only way.

Young voter says she voted Democrat for the first time because the @FloridaGOP shoved Byron Donalds down our throats.
“You served us shit on a platter.
The people who voted Byron will all be dead in 10-15 years do they don’t care about AI data centers.”
Bill Kessler retweeted
This ALONE should wake y’all up Florida.
It’s exhausting and embarrassing how blatant and disgustingly ridiculous Byron Donalds shows himself and his true character.
And yet…. Folks clap and vote for this trash traitor.
Thanks @TheFLGOP
Bill Kessler retweeted
First time since 1992, which was my first Presidential vote, that I voted for a Democrat. THIS is what running the MAGA lapdog and self admitted drug dealer @ByronDonalds for governor resulted in. I Hope the @FloridaGOP is ready for the ass kicking they're about to take.

Why do liberals from the northeast who almost certainly ruined their state by voting for democrats always end up moving to Florida just to try and ruin everything for us here too?
Bill Kessler retweeted
Evan Power committed political suicide by getting all liquored up, drunk texting and blocking Florida voters and most recently rigging the primaries. I don’t see a political future for him here in Florida.
Still not voting for Byron and all of the blame is on the corrupt FL GOP leadership, and only on the corrupt FL GOP leadership, not the voters.
FL GOP Chairman Evan Power denied FL GOP gubernatorial primary debates and coronated Byron against the objections of the FL GOP base.
Even Gov. DeSantis publicly rebuked Evan Power for rigging the FL GOP gubernatorial primaries and engineering the outcome.
Bill Kessler retweeted
That’s the thing with voting for Donalds. You don’t just get some unqualified puppet. A vote for Donalds gets you him, Elvira, Swamp Granny, Power, Andrade, Gruters 2.0, Perez, Gaetz, Wilcoxen, 💀 Scott, Mills, Trulieve, Morgan & Morgan, the data center/AI conglomerate and Lord knows who else.
I refuse to sign up for 4 years of that 💩.
He can say whatever he wants. He's a corrupt grifting RINO. A REAL Republican is not everyone that kisses Trumps ass, it's someone with traditional conservative values.
🚨 WARNING: Byron Donalds just said Democrats would RUN Florida into the GROUND.
Donalds said Florida is a great state, and it only stays the best if people show up to vote.
He warned that Democrats would do to Florida what they did in so many states up north.
Keep Florida free. Keep Florida winning.
VOTE LIKE FLORIDA DEPENDS ON IT.

You really just don’t get it. Let me simplify it for you.
It is basic math taught in 1st grade. You have 2 buckets. One has 2 eggs. The other has 3 eggs. You are holding 1 egg. Instead of putting that egg in one of the buckets, you decide to throw it at the most obnoxious person telling you what you should do with it. Did either bucket lose one of their eggs? No. Did either bucket gain an egg? No. Did it feel awesome to nail the obnoxious person between the eyes and stay true to your conscience? DAMN STRAIGHT!
