Summary
Catalina Lauf won Trump’s backing in Florida’s 19th Congressional District, a 15-candidate race to replace Byron Donalds in a Republican-leaning seat where the GOP primary is expected to decide the winner.
Trump also endorsed Republicans in 19 other Florida contests, including Byron Donalds for governor, Ashley Moody for U.S. Senate and James Uthmeier for attorney general.
Florida’s closed primary limits party primary voting to registered party members, though all voters can still cast ballots in nonpartisan and universal primary contests.
Early voting ran from Aug. 8 through Aug. 15, with primary Election Day set for Aug. 18 and polls open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET.
Several endorsed candidates already face November matchups or no primary opposition, underscoring how Trump’s slate spans both competitive nomination fights and effectively settled races.
