DONALDS CLOSES STRONG IN FLORIDA, MAGA MOBILIZES NATIONWIDE | THE EARLY BIRD
Ed Martin opens with a personal recollection of meeting Byron and Erika Donalds at a Florida gathering tied to the late Phyllis Schlafly. Trump-endorsed Rep. Byron Donalds joins for a conversation on his closing case to Florida voters in the final stretch of the gubernatorial race. Ashley Hayek of the America First Policy Institute and America First Works examines the Republican ground operation and the effort to mobilize supporters for control of Congress as the midterms approach. Neil McCabe, reporting from the White House, assesses the national political climate, Republican turnout, and the closing environment around key races. Andrew Pollack, father of a victim of the 2018 Parkland school shooting, discusses his advocacy for safer schools alongside the rights of lawful gun owners. Ed highlights the New Hampshire U.S. Senate contest between John E. Sununu and Chris Pappas, then reflects on recent experiences with Tesla Cybertruck and full self-driving technology. Will Republican voters turn out in force when President Trump is not on the ballot? #TheEarlyBird #RealAmericasVoice #EdMartin #Midterms2026 #ByronDonalds #Florida #MAGA #AmericaFirst #GunRights #SchoolSafety #NHSenate #Sununu #Pappas
