Florida Republican Byron Donalds removes Trump mentions from campaign website
Byron Donalds updated his gubernatorial campaign website on Tuesday to remove most references to President Trump and a photo of him with the president.
Website changes reflect shifting strategy
The new layout stripped almost every mention of the president from the page. A photograph showing Donalds and his wife posing with Trump was also taken down. This move follows a similar public criticism of immigration policy by another Florida Republican, María Elvira Salazar.
Campaign context amid election concerns
Donalds previously ran his primary campaign largely on the theme of receiving an endorsement from the president. His approval ratings have fallen below 30 percent recently due to dissatisfaction over the economy and the Iran war. Sabato's Crystal Ball moved the open Florida governor race from likely Republican to leans Republican.
