Summary
Homestead-Miami Speedway hosted Florida Governor-elect Byron Donalds and WNBA player Sophie Cunningham for a photo op Sunday, with Donalds later posting, “Keep speaking up, Sophie.”
Donalds’ message appeared to back Cunningham’s criticism of transgender athletes in women’s sports, an issue that has made the Indiana Fever guard a polarizing figure within the WNBA.
The appearance came days after Donalds preserved Republican control of Florida’s governor’s office for another 4 years by defeating Democrat David Jolly.
Cunningham had already drawn fresh backlash after sharing a post following the midterms that stressed self-improvement over faith in elections, extending her run of politically charged social-media controversies.
