Byron Donalds holds a strong lead in trader pricing for the 2026 Florida gubernatorial race because Republicans have won every governor election in the state since 1998, and Donalds secured the GOP nomination with a clear primary victory backed by President Trump and substantial party resources. David Jolly, the Democratic nominee and former Republican congressman, faces structural headwinds in a state that has trended solidly Republican. Recent developments include both candidates releasing competing property insurance reform plans on September 23, Jolly’s September 20 decision to skip general-election debates, and a modest tightening in late September polling that some forecasters rate as a toss-up while others maintain a lean-Republican outlook. Traders appear to weigh Florida’s partisan baseline and Donalds’ fundraising and organizational edge more heavily than short-term polling movement.

A candidate shall be considered to represent a party in the event that he or she is the nominee of the party in question. Candidates other than the Democratic or Republican nominee (e.g., Greens, Libertarian, independent) may be added at a later date.
Candidates who run as independents will not be encompassed by the “Democrat” or “Republican” options regardless of any affiliation they may have with the party.
The candidates may be named in the contract for the convenience of traders. In the event that any named candidate is replaced as the nominee of their respective party prior to election day, the name in the contract will be updated and the market will resolve based on the replacement nominee of the party.
The resolution source for this market is the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC. This market will resolve once all three sources call the race for the same candidate. If all three sources haven’t called the race in this state for the same candidate, this market will resolve based on the official certification.
