David Jolly’s Gamble for Florida | Lubbock News

David Jolly, a former Republican turned Democrat running for Florida governor, is betting big that the Sunshine State can still swing elections — even as Republicans dominate. Campaigning from golf courses to urban neighborhoods, he’s battling skepticism and a formidable opponent in Byron Donalds, who wields Trump’s backing and a massive war chest. Jolly positions himself as a moderate focused on economic fairness, steering clear of divisive culture wars — even as Florida’s GOP has weaponized those issues to win. But with Latino voters potentially shifting back and weary Republicans tired of polarization, Jolly’s gamble could reshape not just Florida’s future, but the national political map — if he can convince voters he’s not another Fetterman.
