Flip-Flopping David Jolly Enters Florida’s Gubernatorial Race

WASHINGTON, D.C. – As David Jolly announces he’s throwing his hat into the Florida gubernatorial race, the Republican Governors Association (RGA) issued the following statement:

“David Jolly has spent his flailing political career leaning whichever way the wind blows in an attempt at political opportunity and relevancy. Floridians have seen this show before, and they won’t buy it,” said RGA Communications Director Courtney Alexander. “There is no appetite among Florida voters to turn the successful leadership of state government over to a failed, out-of-touch swamp creature who just found religion in MSNBC’s green room.”

David Jolly’s Record: 

• In 2015, while in the process of losing another campaign, Jolly called for President Trump to get out of the presidential race.
• Jolly lost his congressional race in 2016 to his future mentor and personal idol, Charlie Crist (R-I-D).
• Jolly subsequently left the GOP and joined the ranks of MSNBC as a contributor, writing “the fight for the heart and soul of the Republican party has been lost to darker angels — to a darker leader.”
• Since then Jolly has been a reliable Democrat mouthpiece, even defending Biden’s candidacy after his disastrous debate performance.
• In 2022, Jolly even praised the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act that drove up costs and encouraged Joe Biden to take a victory lap.
• In 2025 Jolly completed the “Full Crist” by changing his voter registration to Democrat – formalizing a conversion that was already evident to anyone unfortunate enough to be subjected to his appearances on MSNBC.
