“I am hearing that Highly Respected Congressman Byron Donalds is considering running for Governor of Florida, a State that I love, and WON BIG in 2016, 2020, and 2024,” Trump posted. “I know Byron well, have seen him tested at the highest and most difficult levels, and he is a TOTAL WINNER! Byron has a great wife, Erika, and three beautiful sons. They are very proud of him! As Governor, Byron would have a BIG Voice, and would work closely with me to advance our America First Agenda.”

Donalds and Trump share a mutual fondness and have supported each other in recent political campaigns. Donalds stumped for Trump in the 2024 election, appearing at numerous nationwide campaign events to increase voter turnout. He was a key figure in Trump’s campaign initiative to win over black voters in the 2024 election.

Earlier this week, Trump shared a Victory Insights poll showing the Florida congressman with a substantial lead over other potential GOP primary candidates. The president also posted a graphic that listed Donalds’s “notable committed supporters” as a way to incentivize voters to align with the congressman if or when he officially declares his candidacy.

On Thursday, Trump touted Donalds’s qualities and listed notable platform agendas he would embrace if he were elected Florida’s next governor.

“He will fight tirelessly to Secure our Border, Stop Migrant Crime, Strengthen our Military, Protect our Vets, Restore our Economic Power, Advance American Energy DOMINANCE, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment,” Trump said.

The president concluded his plug with a statement of encouragement, further prodding him to officially start a gubernatorial campaign.

“Byron Donalds would be a truly Great and Powerful Governor for Florida and, should he decide to run, will have my Complete and Total Endorsement,” Trump said. “RUN, BYRON, RUN!”
