Where do I even begin with this? So, let's start here. Nobody has done more to rebuild and save the Republican Party than Donald Trump since Abraham Lincoln himself. President Trump inherited a broken shell, a hollowed-out husk of a political party after the Bush years, after the Ryan years, after the sellout years, and he turned it into the working-class party, the middle-class party. And he took states that had been blue forever. He took the blue wall. He took states like Wisconsin, states like Ohio, states like Pennsylvania. He pulverized that blue wall. How many Senate races have we seen? Were President Trump won a state by eight points, nine points, 10 points, 11 points? And it was just enough to bring along the Republican senator by half a point or a point to build that Senate Republican majority. How many Senate candidates has he dragged along to victory? And how many rhinos has he forced out of the party to elect real, working-class, populist Republicans, people like, for example, Eric Schmidt, who represent the future of the Republican Party, where it is today? President Trump has raised more money for Republican candidates than any human in history. He has more enthusiasm and support from Republican voters than any candidate in history. I could keep going, Laura. The reality is, as he said, President Trump is dead on right here. What this comes down to is the Trump voter needs to show up in the midterm.

A close-up photograph of a large gold-leaf statue depicting a rearing horse with a partially nude human figure (appears to be an allegorical or mythological rider/charioteer figure) beside it. The statue is shown under construction or restoration, surrounded by scaffolding, wooden support beams, and white protective tarps/sheeting. Wooden planks and plywood scraps lie on the platform beneath the statue. Through gaps in the scaffolding and tarp in the background, a body of water and distant city buildings are visible, suggesting an outdoor urban waterfront setting.

>> Well, the data center subject to me is a pretty simple one. If you pick the right location, and it's got to be not every location is perfect for it, but you pick the right location, what it means for a community is jobs and lots of money and lower taxes. And the data centers now are mandated by me that they build their own electricity so they're not taking it for the grid. It's going to lower the electric costs because they're building electricity and the extra as an example, we talked about this one, I'm very proud of it, it was my idea. They're going to build their own electric producing facility and that electricity that they have left over is going to the grid. It's going to lower the cost of electricity. So if I were a community, I would want the data center. It means jobs, it means income and it means lower taxes.

Text in image: told the Florida Trident that they married only so she could get cheaper, in-state tuition. They divorced after a few years. During his young adulthood, he sold what he has described as small amounts of marijuana to make ends meet. He was charged with marijuana possession, a case that was dropped after he completed a program for first-time offenders. He was arrested in connection with what he later said was a bank-card fraud scheme, a case that was also dropped and later sealed from his record. At Florida State, he joined a business fraternity and met Erika Lees, a sixth-generation Floridian from the Tampa area, who is now his wife. She encouraged him to go to church. He was 21 when, while waiting tables at Cracker Barrel one day, he served a group of customers returning from a religious revival. Mr. Donalds has said that as he rolled silverware, he felt a call from God to stop running from his faith. He hurried outside, met the departing religious group he had just served, and prayed with them. Mr. Donalds and his new wife settled in Naples, where they both worked in the finance sector, had three sons and became youth leaders at a nondenominational Christian church. Mr. Donalds coached youth basketball and football. 5

A screenshot of page 6 of a printed news article (formatted like a New York Times piece) about U.S. Representative Byron Donalds, with a photo caption at top referencing a New York Times photo credit, followed by several paragraphs of body text discussing his political biography — his political awakening during the financial crisis, involvement with the Naples Tea Party, a 2012 congressional loss, his 2016 Florida Legislature win, support for a felon voting rights ballot measure, his defense of Ron DeSantis against dog-whistle accusations, and a note that his relationship with DeSantis later fractured.

Text in image: Byron Donalds and his wife, Erika Donalds, at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla., in February, to attend the wedding of Dan Scavino, White House deputy chief of staff. Eric Lee for The New York Times "He's kind of portrayed himself as a Black Horatio Alger, someone who has pulled himself up by his bootstraps," said Peter J. Bergerson, a professor emeritus of political science at Florida Gulf Coast University who has followed Mr. Donalds' political career. Mr. Donalds's interest in politics began with the financial crisis. While working on an investment report for work, he said in the interview, he grew angry watching a House Financial Services Committee hearing. "They just didn't know what they were talking about," he recalled. "It was frustrating." Mr. Donalds soon began reading books on economic theory, he and his wife said. He watched less ESPN and more CNBC. By 2010, Mr. Donalds had joined the Naples Tea Party. The movement, which objected to big government spending and financial bailouts under the Obama administration, faced accusations of racism, Mr. Donalds recalled. At one Tea Party rally, two older white women asked to take a photograph with him. He asked why. "'Because we want to prove to our friends that we're not racists,'" Mr. Donalds recalled them saying. As Tea Party candidates racked up electoral victories, Mr. Donalds mounted his first campaign for Congress in 2012 — and lost. But he made an impression, said Neil G. Volz, a political activist who met Mr. Donalds at a candidate forum that year. "You just could see the political skills that he had right out the gate," he said. In 2016, Mr. Donalds won a seat in the Florida Legislature. He would go on to support a ballot measure in 2018 that would restore many felons' voting rights, a campaign that Mr. Volz helped lead. That year, Mr. Donalds went on cable news to defend Mr. DeSantis, then the Republican nominee for governor, after he was accused of using a racist dog whistle against his Democratic opponent, Andrew Gillum, who was Black. His relationship with Mr. DeSantis fractured five years later. 6

A page (numbered 7) from what appears to be a New York Times article/document, with body text above and below a photograph. The photo shows Donald Trump on a stage decorated with red-and-white star-patterned bunting and a banner reading "MAKE AMERICA GREA[T]," shaking hands with Rep. Byron Donalds. Standing behind and around them, applauding, are several other people including men resembling Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, a woman in a blue dress resembling Lara Trump, a young woman in black, and other men in suits. The photo caption credits Hiroko Masuike/The New York Times and relates the image to Byron Donalds' 2023 endorsement of Trump over Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. The surrounding text discusses the 2024 Republican presidential primary split between Trump and DeSantis, Donalds' rise to prominence after his 2020 congressional election, his objection to a DeSantis administration proposal about Black history curriculum standards, and DeSantis's dismissive response to Donalds' endorsement of Trump.

Text in image: As the 2024 presidential election approached, Florida Republicans were divided over whether to support Mr. Trump, whose re-election seemed uncertain, or Mr. DeSantis, who became a conservative darling during the coronavirus pandemic. Byron Donalds' endorsement of Donald J. Trump over his governor, Ron DeSantis, for president in 2023 paid off hugely. Hiroko Masuike/The New York Times Mr. Donalds's prominence had risen after he was elected to Congress in 2020 and became a go-to guest on conservative news shows. In 2023, he objected to the DeSantis administration's proposed rewrite of Black history standards for middle school, which said enslaved people "developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit." Mr. Donalds endorsed Mr. Trump. Mr. DeSantis responded by saying that Mr. Donalds had not played much of a role in the state's conservative policy triumphs. 7 KE AMERICA GREA

A screenshot/scan of a printed news article page (page 8), plain black text on a white background, no images or graphics. The excerpt discusses Florida politics: it describes Byron Donalds continuing to praise Ron DeSantis as "best governor in the country" despite the president's endorsement of Donalds for governor effectively blocking DeSantis from naming a political heir. It notes DeSantis considered having his wife Casey run to succeed him and appointed Jay Collins as lieutenant governor but declined to endorse anyone for governor. It states Donalds raised over $100 million and looked unbeatable, quotes a pastor named Mike Durante (76) from a Donalds rally at a veterans' hall in Naples who said his support was simple because "I support Trump, and he supports Trump." A credit line notes Kirsten Noyes contributed research.

Text in image: Mr. Donalds has continued to publicly praise Mr. DeSantis as the "best governor in the country." But the president's endorsement of Mr. Donalds for governor effectively denied Mr. DeSantis the power to name a political heir. Last year, the governor weighed whether his wife, Casey, should run to succeed him. He also appointed an ally, Jay Collins, as lieutenant governor, but then declined to back him — or anyone else — for governor. But Mr. Donalds, who raised more than $100 million over the course of the campaign, looked unbeatable. Mike Durante, 76, a pastor who attended a Donalds rally at a veterans' hall in Naples last week, said the choice was simple. "I support Trump," he said. "And he supports Trump."
