Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) endorsed former President Donald Trump for president in 2024.
“There is only one leader at this time in our nation’s history who can seize this moment and deliver what we need— to get us back on track, provide strength and resolve, and Make America Great Again,” he said in a statement obtained by ABC News. “That is why I’m HONORED TO ENDORSE PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT IN 2024, and I ask my fellow Americans to join me.”

Donalds is seen widely as a rising star within the GOP. Though only beginning his stint in the House in 2021, he has already made unsuccessful bids for Rep. Elise Stefanik’s (R-NY) position as chair of the House Republican Conference and Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) position as speaker of the House. He has also shown interest in running for the Florida governorship after DeSantis.

Donalds has been a long-time supporter of the president, but the popularity of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has led many in the state to back the former governor instead. The latest polls show DeSantis has a slight lead in popularity over the former president.
