The Byron Donalds Campaign and Friends of Byron Donalds PAC announced the largest fundraising haul to date for the Trump-backed candidate for Florida Governor. Donalds raised a staggering $22.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, bringing his warchest to over $67 million total between both entities. Over 10,000 donors contributed to Donalds’ efforts this quarter. Donalds’ Q1 haul is unprecedented for a non-incumbent candidate.
In addition to President Trump’s endorsement, Donalds also earned the backing of Donald Trump, Jr., Charlie Kirk, Elon Musk, Senator Rick Scott, the majority of Florida sheriffs, U.S. House Leadership, 17 members of Florida’s congressional delegation, 75% of the Republican caucus in the Florida House, and other leading national conservatives.
“Trump-endorsed Byron Donalds is laser-focused on defeating the Democrats and keeping Florida Red this November. Byron Donalds is the America First conservative who will defend the Florida Dream by making the Sunshine State safer and more affordable for families and seniors. As Governor, Byron Donalds will lower our cost of living, protect our communities from illegal immigration, and stop the Radical Democrats from imposing their agenda on our state,” said Ryan Smith, Chief Strategist for the Byron Donalds Campaign
