FOX NEWS slams Byron Donalds: The Florida governor's race has been moved to a toss-up as ads go after him for being 'Data Center Donalds.'

[Michael Weiss @michaeldweiss]

It’s even worse than WSJ reported.

[Scott Maxwell @Scott_Maxwell]

The head of the Florida Chamber - which claims to promote a "responsible business community that acts in the long-term interest of our state" - wouldn't answer questions about his key role in the Hope Florida scandal involving $5 million in public money.

.@RepAshleyHinson has held zero town halls in 2026. Wonder why?

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

You're struggling. They're partying.

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

Let’s be clear, @AnnLWagner is a coward. She can’t run on her record so she spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on ads attacking me. She didn’t even bother recording a new “I approve this message.” The one she used is 4 years old. She won’t hold town halls. She won’t debate. She won’t even campaign in public. She is afraid of her own constituents. I’m not. It’s time for change. @WellmanForMO

Tom Kean Jr. voted for the Iran War three times and traded over $100,000 in oil and gas stocks.

The rest of us are paying more at the gas station and grocery store.

Who do you think he's working for? #NJ07

[Florida Center for Government Accountability @FLCTRGA]

It's illegal to use taxpayer money for legal bills in a criminal investigation of public officials -- yet taxpayers paid $111,387.50 in legal fees for an unidentified person in Gov. DeSantis’ office during the Hope Florida investigation. #DefendDemocracy https://t.co/4JPiwReK76

You can't make it up.

In a normal administration counterintelligence agents at the FBI would be investigating this photo.

In this administration, the FBI director is in the photo.

Y'all may have seen Max Miller's ad about me.

I'm gonna say it once so I don't have to keep saying it: this is complete bull#@&%.

Max Miller can fight the allegations. I'm going to be fighting for you.

“The largest mass surrender of Russians since spring 2022.”

[Lawrence Mower @lmower3]

The Florida Chamber of Commerce told the IRS that the $4.85 million it gave @AGJamesUthmeier's political committee was not "political campaign and lobbying activities."

The other nonprofit that gave $4.85m DID report it as "political campaign and lobbying activities."

[Tom Celica™ @thetomcelica]

The Temu "Jay and Silent Bob" reboot fucking sucks

[The Florida Trib @TheFloridaTrib]

The Jacksonville man’s case is among a string of wrongful arrests linked to faulty use of facial recognition and a lack of investigative rigor.

Nick was ordered to live separately from his children, the youngest was 7-months-old.

What I'm hearing shaking hands at gas stations:

We can't afford Max Miller's votes for the war anymore.

[Joni Askola @joni_askola]

What an amazing thing to wake up to

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

This is GREAT Dan.

Really, really on the money.

You should do these every day.

[Lesley Abravanel 🪩 @lesleyabravanel]

Byron Donalds had nothing but Donald Trump. He was one of Trump’s most feckless surrogates and a staunch defender of Trump during his criminal prosecutions. Trump is now political poison and Donalds is irrevocably attached to him and all of Florida’s increasing issues that have grown under GOP leadership. Byron Donalds’ criminal record of fraud and dope dealing may be the least of his issues. Meanwhile David Jolly continues to break grounds with bipartisan endorsements of his plans to fix the state’s GOP-caused affordability and housing crises, among other things. https://t.co/tlE7BpQV21

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

No recordings? Why is @RepDonaldsPress so scared of the people he says he wants to serve?

Florida, do your thing.
