2026 Elections

Meade was one of several independent candidates in the race for governor, in which Republican Byron Donalds and Democrat David Jolly are the frontrunners in the November election.

One of the top political prediction websites in the country says Byron Donalds remains the favorite for Florida governor but sees some shift toward Democrat David Jolly.

A new report from the Florida Policy Institute finds Amendment 3 could put hundreds of millions of dollars in public hospital funding at risk. FPI estimates Florida’s public hospital districts and health systems could lose $323 million over the next three years.

Donalds announced he had selected Avila to be his lieutenant governor on social media and at a campaign rally Tuesday at the Freedom Tower at Miami Dade College.

Florida state Rep. Angie Nixon, who won the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, joined the Democratic Socialists of America in June. She said she doesn’t support all of its policies.

Although Florida Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Angie Nixon’s ties with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) appear limited, the Republican Party of Florida appears determined to use that association to paint her as unelectable.

Republican gubernatorial nominee Byron Donalds talked about his plans to make Florida more affordable and defended President Donald Trump's economic and foreign policy during an appearance Friday on NBC’s Meet the Press NOW.

He showed significant strength in the Panhandle. The decorated Army Special Forces combat veteran defeated Donalds in 14 counties in North Florida. He also took Hardee County in Central Florida.

Sen. Bernie Sanders said Angie Nixon's "decades of experience as an organizer enabled her to build a powerful grassroots campaign — a rainbow coalition of labor and community groups."

Despite a warning from federal election authorities that he was skirting campaign finance laws, Donalds has continued to raise and spend money for more than 18 months in a campaign for re-election to his U.S. House seat.

In an interview on MS NOW's Morning Joe the day after her primary win with host Joe Scarborough, Nixon addressed a wide range of topics going into her race in November against Republican Sen. Ashley Moody.

Nixon, backed by progressive figures, has championed policies like universal healthcare. Her victory is seen as a sign of growing momentum for progressives in the region.
