据美联社预测，众议员拜伦·唐纳兹赢得共和党州长初选，前众议员戴维·乔利赢得民主党初选，两人将展开对决，争夺这个美国第三大州的州长职位。
唐纳兹击败了多名初选对手，其中包括极右翼网络煽动者詹姆斯·菲什巴克。菲什巴克在竞选期间因获得尼克·富恩特斯的支持而受到关注，同时他还使用过种族歧视和性别歧视言论。
唐纳兹于2020年首次当选，代表那不勒斯、麦尔兹堡及其周边地区，曾获得特朗普总统的支持，并长期将自己标榜为众议院的“让美国再次伟大”成员。他是众议院自由核心小组的重要成员，2023年曾挑战凯文·麦卡锡的众议院议长职位，迫使投票进行了15轮。在麦卡锡被赶下台10个月后，唐纳兹也参选了议长继任选举。
乔利在民主党提名竞选中击败了多名对手，成为两年来第二位转而参选佛罗里达州州长的前共和党人。
由于过去十年佛罗里达州大幅右倾，唐纳兹被认为是11月大选的热门候选人。库克政治报告将这场竞选评级为“稳固共和党”。

Byron Donalds, David Jolly to face off in Florida governor’s race after primary wins
August 18, 2026 / 11:37 PM EDT / CBS News
Rep. Byron Donalds won the Republican primary for governor and former Rep. David Jolly won the Democratic primary, The Associated Press projects, setting up the general election match to control the nation’s third-largest state.
Donalds defeated several primary challengers, including far-right online provocateur James Fishback. Fishback had garnered attention during the campaign for his support from Nick Fuentes while also using racial slurs and sexist language.
Donalds, first elected in 2020 to represent Naples, Fort Myers and the surrounding area, was backed by President Trump and has long branded himself as a “Make America Great Again” member of the House. He is a prominent member of the House Freedom Caucus and in 2023, challenged Kevin McCarthy in the race to become speaker, forcing 15 rounds of voting. Donalds also put his name in the bid to replace McCarthy 10 months later when he was ousted from the speakership.
Jolly defeated several challengers for the Democratic nomination, becoming the second prominent Republican-turned-Democrat to run for governor in Florida in two cycles.
Donalds is considered the favorite to win in November as Florida has moved significantly to the right in the past decade. Cook Political Report rates the race as Solid R.
