Anti-Trump former Republican David Jolly considers run for Florida governor [View all]
David Jolly, the former representative whose sharp disagreements with President Donald Trump led him to leave the Republican Party, is considering running for governor of Florida.
Jolly is weighing whether to enter the race as a Democrat despite Republicans building a formidable advantage in the once-swing state under Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis.
“I am very seriously considering a run for governor,” Jolly said, specifying he would likely make a final decision within the next six to eight weeks after meeting with Democrats over the course of the last year. “It’s clear to me there is a coalition of Floridians that want change.”
Jolly is contemplating his next move as Trump has already endorsed Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) for the job. Florida first lady Casey DeSantis is also weighing a bid in the GOP primary.
