Florida Republicans 'white-knuckled' as early turnout data flags governor race risk
GOP leads Democrats by only 2.8 points in early ballots despite an 11-point registration edge, while most polls show Donalds narrowly leading Jolly
Florida Republicans are privately expressing deep concern over sluggish early turnout, with some describing the mood as 'white-knuckled', according to a report from Axios, as Governor Ron DeSantis warned the party's vote is not as strong as hoped and data suggests Democrat David Jolly could narrow the gap in the governor's race against Republican Byron Donalds, despite Donalds' massive fundraising advantage.
