    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. Florida is where woke goes to die.” If wokeness isn’t the most pressing matter in this year’s election, neither were the other golden oldies DeSantis recalled to regale the ballroom crowd at TPepin’s Hospitality Centre about his eight years in office.

    How David Jolly won the Democratic nomination for Florida governor (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Early last year, two political adversaries slid into a booth at the back of a Panera Bread in South Tampa for an extraordinary meeting. A decade earlier, Alex Sink and David Jolly faced off in a bruising race for a Pinellas County congressional seat.
