Byron Donalds, a front-runner for the Republican gubernatorial nomination in Florida, requires candidates to meet three benchmarks (10% in polls, $10 million raised, 10,000 donors) for debate eligibility. He faces criticism from rival Jay Collins and former Governor Ron DeSantis, who argue the criteria are overly strict.
