Donalds’ $22 Million Haul Solidifies Lead in Florida GOP Governor Race

Backed by President Trump with more than $20 million on hand, Donalds is on course to convert his fundraising dominance into a near-inevitable GOP nomination.

Overview

  • Donalds has raised $22 million since February with over $20 million available for the next campaign phase, far surpassing his more than two dozen primary rivals.
  • President Trump’s endorsement followed Donalds’ entry into the race, reinforcing his status as the GOP front-runner.
  • A coalition of major donors, including Thomas Peterffy, Dick Uihlein, Pete Ricketts and the Winklevoss twins, underpins his fundraising lead.
  • Internal polling shows Donalds holding a five-point edge over Democrat David Jolly in head-to-head matchups for governor.
  • In a state where registered Republicans outnumber Democrats by over a million, the GOP primary winner is positioned as the favorite in the general election.
