Not a Republican here. Focused on investigations and impeachments. And affordability and lowering costs. Crazy how more than 1 priority can exist at the same time.

@morrisstewart7586Imported1d ago

Ain't no way that he will lower insurance rates, in state waiting on the next hurricane to happen. most insurance companies won't touch Florida. and those insurance companies that will insure them, won't stay there long. meaning that they will make billions and haul ass out there. I give him six months before they call for his head. that being said, dude is just dumb, saying that he's not voting to impeach pete. of course he's not, because he doesn't get a vote.

@dimitriosfotopoulos3689Imported1d ago

I can't believe we elected this dud. Leave it to Florida, on a night of huge positive change, to be the only state to shoot themselves in the foot.

@p90x490104Imported1d ago

Donald's will be one and done. No monies by the Dems invested in Florida and Jolly and Nixon lost their races by slim margins. Florida will be next to turn blue As Moskowitz said, their gerrymandering didn't work so I believe Florida will be going blue in the next election. If I am not mistaken, in one of the special elections held earlier, a Dem is representing the district where Trump lives.

The only mistake floridians made in this election is , elected a puppet as governor.

@williamnieves4538Imported1d ago

Sadly, the intelligence at the Florida Governor's Office has now declined significantly with this new governor - this is all thanks to the puppet master Trump's endorsement and support. Who says you can't buy a governor in the Sunshine State?

This guy winning is a shocker to me. For anybody that has paid attention to his career he is one of the slimiest, biggest con job Maga clowns in all of politics. He will do nothing good for the state of Florida.

Imagine becoming GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA... happiest day of your life. But then your party gets choked out on live TV and suddenly you're just a sore thumb in the wilderness. Tethered to all the bullshit that just went down in flames. 🤣 DELICIOUS

I’m not a fan. But, Congratulations governor Byron Donald! You work hard for this.

@ahmedder3608Imported1d ago

😂..nnn In truth, all the failures and electoral losses suffered by the Republican Party, as well as the decline in Trump’s popularity, are attributable to the extremist and reckless policies pursued by Netanyahu and his government in the Middle East—policies that are hostile to peace in the region. Any impartial and objective observer would acknowledge this. Trump realized it far too late.

I think once the pressure of Trump/MAGA is gone, Donald's will be a solid governor. He is walking the tightrope & saying what he has to say, not what he wants to say.

@philipadairImported1d ago

Hmm. I kinda see how he was able to eek out that win. Not a complete dumbass. Very strategic in his thinking and speaking. He seems like he still has a foot in reality, despite dabbling around in the bullshit.

@swnsasyImported1d ago

Data Centers funded his campaign so get ready for the build of the 313 here whose contracts DeSantis put on hold until, AFTER THE MIDTERMS. It is because of the 30 YEARS OF REPUBLICANS THAT OUR PRICES ARE HIGH so Wtf does he mean he's going to lower ANYTHING?! The country saw right through Republicans Bullshit but not Florida, he will now approve the 313 DATA CENTERS out of the already HUNDREDS Desatan approved. Look at how the rest of the country paid attention to the assignment.. Not Florida of course..

@jonlong5541Imported1d ago

Damn ypu would think people in the comment section would be celebrating the first black governor in Florida...As usual people refuse to give us our recognition in America

@annaluvaranda8781Imported1d ago

Half of State of Florida did not choose to elect you. Half does not want to continue with the same policies that only favors the rich donors land developers. Half is against data centers. It is just a matter of time until he ruins Florida even more with data centers, over development and compromising water supply with high cost energy…all while most other States will be showing what government for the people looks like. Lets see how much damage he will do to finally wake up the country ignorant folks that are “conservative” and still believe the radical republican fear monger lies. Drive through the back country roads of Florida and you will see that most of them are already poor, yet brain washed. Hence they also voted for that stupid amendment to lower property tax. Instead of acknowledging that the reason why they are suffering is because of the current government they rather vote to lower the property tax at the detriment of the little public service we still have. Major cuts coming to the police, public schools, and libraries….Unfortunately the Florida natural lands and wildlife will pay so the brain washed can finally see that he is not governing for the people of Florida but for the big pockets.

In the mid that the reason the republicans lost was because of trump , but then he couldn't also admit that russia is one of our greatest threats to this country and his party cozied up with Putin he will not be able to fix any of these problems as long as he keeps pushing Republican platform.And unfortunately, the Democrats have to work hard now that they have this majority, that doesn't that all the problems are solved.But Bryan Donalds is also part of the problem

I sure as hell did not. Even if he is trumpy. The POC that have aligned themselves with orange have usually been cast aside.

Trump is still your president whether you love him or hate him <br><br>2. The house and senate won’t have a veto proof majority to overturn any veto<br>(Takes 2/3 to overturn a veto)<br><br>3. Why then make your campaign about “affordability” when you know and I know it’s about “impeachment and investigations”?<br><br>4. What happens if you go down that route of investigations and impeachments?… Kiss 💋 your 2028 White House dreams bye bye 👋 <br><br>5. You know and I know you won’t be able to multi task since even if you try, Trump would veto it…<br><br>So, yes I get you democrats will celebrate and mock and lol and say your liberal 🤮 💩 but with the next 2 years being in gridlock… what happens next decides how this ends?

If Democrats can't win statewide in Florida in a year like 2026, then the state is completely hopeless. Democrats should never spend a dime in Florida ever again. We probably have a better shot in Alabama than Florida at this point.

Trump owns Donalds, that's ALL that needs to be said.

@anthonycampos8057Imported1d ago

The ONLY reason he won was because his opponent, David Jolly, didn't have money. If democrats had bothered helping him out with some cash, he would've won. Look at how close that race was.
