Donalds at 37% skips debate with single-digit rivals
Poll leader cites cash and numbers to skip the stage while challengers demand face time before voters decide.
Byron Donalds holds 37 percent in the Florida GOP governor primary and has raised $90M. He says no to debating single-digit candidates. Supporters call it efficient; opponents say it dodges scrutiny and mirrors past Democratic tactics.
Why these scores — Fox source confirms fundraising and poll lead; OnPoint source shows the Biden-Harris comparison. Both claims rest on verifiable poll and cash figures with clear partisan framing on the refusal angle.
A guy polling at 37 percent with $90 million in the bank just told the rest of the field to debate themselves.
His camp points to the numbers and the bank account as proof the race is already settled. Low-polling opponents get no free airtime on the leader's schedule.
The other side argues every voter deserves to watch the full field answer the same questions in real time. Skipping the stage, they claim, looks like an attempt to hide weaknesses rather than prove strength.
With 37 percent and $90M, the leader sees no upside in sharing a stage with single-digit candidates who cannot win.

Voters need direct comparison; refusal echoes past tactics used to avoid tough scrutiny.
