Florida Lt. Gov. Jay Collins endorses Byron Donalds after heated words in GOP primary battle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It took him more than a month after the Republican primary, but on Tuesday, Lt. Gov. Jay Collins fulfilled a campaign promise and endorsed his onetime rival, U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, for Florida governor. “I’m endorsing Byron Donalds for Governor because I believe he can continue that work and keep Florida moving forward,” said Collins, a retired U.S. Army first sergeant and Special Forces medic, in a statement released by the Donalds campaign. “It’s time for Republicans to come together with a

Although he’s not on this year’s ballot, there was no doubt who the star of Tuesday night’s Republican candidate forum was. Gov. Ron DeSantis walked on stage as a video of him rousingly declared: “We will never surrender to the woke mob.

A decade earlier, Alex Sink and David Jolly faced off in a bruising race for a Pinellas County congressional seat. Jolly, then an upstart Republican, narrowly defeated Sink, a well-known politician and member of the state’s Democratic establishment. Now, over coffee, Jolly laid out his ambition to run for Florida’s highest public office — as a Democrat. Sink was
