Byron Donalds Becomes Florida Governor with 50.1% of the Vote

Donalds will be the first Black Governor of Florida.

Republican Byron Donalds has been declared the winner by AP in the Florida gubernatorial race, defeating David Jolly by around 100,000 votes.

According to NBC, Donalds received 50.1% of the vote, defeating Democrat David Jolly to become the first Black Governor of Florida.

Jolly's decision not to debate may have been what cost him the race.

Although Jolly is not a socialist according to his platform, anti-socialist rhetoric was a common theme of the race.
