Donald Trump says his Florida popularity "are better now than they were at the Election"

President Donald Trump disputed news reports that Rep. Byron Donalds, a Florida Republican he endorsed, had removed him from his gubernatorial campaign materials, calling the coverage fabricated and saying Donalds quickly distributed an image denying it. Donalds’ campaign said a website change was intended to emphasize policy. In a Truth Social post, Trump also criticized outlets carrying the story and argued that certain press should be barred from White House areas, remarks that followed a federal judge’s order requiring restored credentials for reporters from CNN, MS Now and Politico. Trump claimed his Florida popularity had risen since the 2024 election, said rallies for Donalds were planned, and acknowledged the story could harm Donalds if voters believed it.
