Florida Representative Byron Donalds has raised $22 million in his campaign for governor, positioning him as the early frontrunner in the race. Since entering the contest, Donalds has outpaced all announced candidates in fundraising, with no other contender nearing his total. His campaign haul has been notably supported by former President Donald Trump, who has endorsed Donalds and contributed to his growing momentum among Florida voters. This financial advantage underscores Donalds' status as the odds-on favorite in the upcoming gubernatorial election. In comparison, Vivek Ramaswamy has raised $9.7 million in the first four months of the 2026 Ohio governor race, highlighting the scale of Donalds' fundraising achievement in Florida.
