Byron Donalds, Florida's Republican governor nominee, avoids mentioning Trump in tight race

Summary

Republican Byron Donalds, the nominee for Florida governor, has removed mentions of the president from his website and has barely uttered his name as he runs in a tight race in deep-red Florida. At a rally in Broward county's Green Glades West ranch, in Florida's bluest county, he blamed Joe Biden and the radical policies of Democrats for affordability problems, even though neither has wielded power in Washington for almost two years.
