Rep. Byron Donalds, the Republican candidate for Florida governor, said he is not backing away from President Donald Trump after prominent references to Trump were removed from his campaign website.
The website’s previous layout included a banner asking visitors to “Chip in to Support Trump Endorsed Byron Donalds,” according to The Hill. That banner and some other mentions of the president were absent from a newer version of the site, prompting questions about whether Donalds was distancing himself from Trump.
Donalds rejected that suggestion during an interview at a local summit Wednesday, CBS News and The Hill reported. He described Trump’s agenda as “common sense” and maintained that he continues to support it.
Donalds, a Republican congressman from Florida and a close Trump ally, has received the president’s endorsement in the governor’s race. The reported website changes involved some references to Trump rather than a complete removal of the president from Donalds’s campaign messaging.
