The Florida gubernatorial candidate’s revamped site shifts focus toward policy issues while still highlighting Trump’s support.

Rep. Byron Donalds has changed the presentation of his Florida gubernatorial campaign website, reducing some of the prominent references to President Donald Trump while continuing to display Trump’s endorsement.

The changes were first reported by The Hill, which compared Donalds’ current website with an archived version from August. The earlier design prominently featured a banner urging visitors to “Support Trump Endorsed Byron Donalds” and repeated the phrase “TRUMP-ENDORSED” elsewhere on the homepage.

Those elements no longer occupy the same prominent positions. On the redesigned site, Trump’s endorsement appears alongside support from other political figures and public personalities.

Trump’s backing has not disappeared from the campaign’s website. Donalds’ current endorsements page explicitly identifies Trump among his supporters and describes the endorsements as spanning political figures across Florida.

A Donalds campaign source told The Hill that Trump remains “all over the website” and described his endorsement as highly valuable to the campaign.

The campaign also changed how it presents Donalds’ policy agenda. The new homepage leads with affordability, followed by issues including health care, the economy, education, law and order, and space and technology. The campaign’s current issues page similarly centers its platform on an “affordable Florida” alongside accountability and opportunity.

A campaign spokesperson told The Hill that the website reflects Donalds’ focus on issues including affordability, insurance costs and government transparency, while stressing that he remains proud to have Trump’s endorsement.

The website changes come as Donalds campaigns for governor in Florida. His campaign continues to identify him as the 2026 Republican nominee for governor and describes him as a Trump-endorsed candidate.
