Orange County Mayor joins FOX 35's Garrett Wymer for an exclusive, in-depth discussion on entering the Florida Governor's race to succeed Ron DeSantis in 2026. Mayor Demings breaks down his reasons for entering the race, his plans to fight for local governments' rights after high tensions between Orange County and the Governor's Office over different local programs and immigration enforcement and the Democrats' path to victory in Florida in 2026. Jerry Demings faces off with former Congressman David Jolly on the Democratic side of the ticket, and the winner of the Democratic Primary will likely face off with Trump-endorsed Congressman Byron Donalds, Ron DeSantis' Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins or former Florida House Speaker Paul Renner on the Republican side of the aisle.
