Why this race matters
Open seat with Governor Ron DeSantis term-limited. Trump-endorsed Rep. Byron Donalds won the August 18 Republican primary and faces Democrat David Jolly, a former Republican congressman turned Democrat running on affordability and insurance costs. Republicans are favored in a state that has trended red, but Jolly is testing a crossover message.
