Rep. Byron Donalds (R) is competing against former congressman David Jolly, a Democrat, to become the next governor of Florida in a race expected to define the coming political era for a onetime swing state that has shifted sharply to the right.
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is barred under the state constitution from seeking a third term, and his successor will inherit an office he has used to turn Florida into a laboratory for conservative policies.
