Florida Lieutenant Governor Questions Trump-Backed Primary Opponent

Florida Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins has publicly questioned the qualifications of a primary opponent backed by former President Donald Trump. Collins made the comments about Representative Byron Donalds, who is also running for governor. The Lieutenant Governor did not mention Donalds by name. However, he stated that voters want a candidate with a proven record of achievement. Collins emphasized the importance of what he called "real results." He suggested that his own military and legislative experience makes him a strong contender. The Republican primary will decide which candidate challenges the Democratic nominee in the general election. This early exchange signals a competitive race.
