Florida Congressman Byron Donalds is considering running for governor of the Sunshine State in 2026
A source close to Donalds confirmed to Fox News Digital he is considering a run for the Florida governorship.
“I’m committed to making Biden a one-term president,” Donalds told Fox News Digital. “We’ll focus on that other stuff after President Trump gets inaugurated.”
Donalds told reporters he was considering a run on Tuesday as he spearheads the continuing resolution in the House to avoid a government shutdown.
The popular Congressman has also told reporters he would happily accept Trump’s invitation to become his running mate if given the opportunity.
Fellow Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz has also been rumored to be considering a potential gubernatorial run but says for now he is focused on his job in Congress.
“I ran into dozens of former colleagues from my days in the state legislature,” Gaetz told Axios. “They encouraged me relentlessly to consider returning to Florida. I wasn’t focused on any of that talk, though.”
The current Governor Ron DeSantis is barred by the state’s constitution from seeking another term.

I wish Byron Donalds would be Trumps running mate. He’s tough like Trump. It would get Donalds in place for a 2028 presidential run.So far, I’m 100% for that scenario.
