David Jolly, a former Republican running for Florida governor as a Democrat, responded to voter concerns about political consistency during an August 8, 2026, town hall in Leesburg. Attendee Cyn Doyle, 71, questioned his alignment with past positions, referencing Senator John Fetterman, and the crowd reacted negatively to the name.
