Anti-Trump Former Republican Rep Considers Running For Governor In Deep Red State

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : It remains to be seen whether Jolly would be able to muster enough support from Floridians if he decides to launch his own gubernatorial campaign, as Florida voted for Trump -- a Florida resident -- for three consecutive presidential elections by increasingly wide margins.
55% : In the 2024 presidential election, Trump secured 56.1% of Florida's votes, while former Vice President Kamala Harris won 43%.
35% : Jolly is likely to face intense competition if he enters into the race to replace term-limited DeSantis, as Trump has already endorsed Republican Florida Rep. Byron Donalds, who confirmed in February that he will be running for governor.
16% : The Democratic Party has been struggling to present a unified message to voters since Trump defeated Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
15% : The former Congressman has publicly criticized Trump over several years, including expressing concern during an August 2024 appearance on MSNBC over the possibility that his young daughter might have to live through a second Trump presidency.
