In Florida, a state that has long served as a mirror of the nation's political soul, two veterans of the House of Representatives now stand on opposite sides of a consequential contest. Byron Donalds, having secured the Republican nomination for governor, will face Democrat David Jolly in a general election that asks Floridians not merely to choose a leader, but to signal something about the direction of the country itself. The outcome will echo far beyond Tallahassee.
