Jolly Won’t Debate Donalds Before Election Day

Summary: Democrat David Jolly says he will not take the stage with Republican nominee Byron Donalds before Election Day, potentially ending televised gubernatorial debates in Florida for the first time since 1974. The Florida GOP says Donalds accepted three televised invitations, including forums in Tallahassee, Jacksonville, and South Florida, while Jolly cited concerns that debates would “stoke division.”
