David Jolly, the presumptive Democrat nominee for Florida governor, selected a former Biden official who once said “for the safety of all Floridians,” illegal aliens should have driver’s licenses, as his running mate.

Jolly, a Republican turned Democrat, recently announced Gwen Graham as his running mate, asserting that he wanted a “governing partner capable of being governor of the state, not just lieutenant governor.”

Graham served as Assistant Secretary of Education for Legislation and Congressional Affairs in former President Joe Biden’s administration, and she ran for governor in 2018 as well.

“If you want leaders who divide Floridians against one another, we are not your ticket,” Graham said in a campaign press release. “But if you believe government should help people build a better life, protect our freedoms, strengthen our schools, preserve our environment, and create opportunity for the next generation, we hope you’ll join us.”

This comes as Florida Republicans continue to dominate in the Sunshine State, outnumbering registered Democrats by over 1.5 million registered voters. Notably, President Trump won the state in 2016, 2020, and 2024.
