Byron Donalds Breaks Down His Plan for Florida
Congressman Byron Donalds, the Republican nominee for governor of Florida, joins A Day in Miami for a wide-ranging conversation about his plan for the state. He shares his journey from growing up in Brooklyn with a single mom to entering politics after the 2008 financial collapse, and lays out exactly what he'd do on day one as governor — from lowering insurance premiums 20% and cutting housing costs to bringing DOGE-style audits to every level of Florida government. He also directly addresses the property tax reduction debate, pushing back on concerns from local mayors about budget deficits. His response is clear: government has to live within its means. We also get into permitting reform, the revelation that 30% of a new home's cost is government fees, data centers, aerospace jobs coming to Florida, his lieutenant governor pick Brian Avila, free Cuba, and why he believes Americans are ready to stop fighting with their families over politics. This is the Florida governor's race — up close and personal. Vote November 3rd.
