Introducing Governor-elect Donalds of the Great Free State of Florida!
THANK YOU FLORIDA!
I am humbled and grateful beyond measure. As your Governor, I will give you everything I have.
We are going to make life in Florida more affordable. We are going to keep our streets safe. We are going to invest in our young people so that they can attain the Florida Dream that all of us love so dearly.
Florida is the envy of the nation. I will fight day and night to keep it that way and to lift our state to even greater heights.
God Bless you, God Bless Florida, and God Bless America.
Precinct 946 (CD14) in Riverview still has a line wrapped around the building at 7pm. Loc shared with two other precincts. Its turnout not issues, poll workers were great. @MBeltranFL @PeterSchorschFL @Fla_Pol #Elections2026 #FloridaElections

Future meets history 🤝
112 years after the first commercial airline flight, the St. Pete to Tampa route is writing a new chapter.
See you over the bay Friday morning!
Big news: Joby is scheduled to fly our electric air taxi in Florida this Friday, October 30th, and everyone’s invited.
In 1914, the world’s first commercial flight lifted off the water in St. Petersburg and crossed Tampa Bay.
This week, we fly that route again.
Same bay, a very different aircraft. But one thing hasn’t changed: no runway necessary.
Come relive history and be part of a new chapter.
📍 Albert Whitted Park, St. Petersburg, Florida
🕘 9:00am ET

🛫George Jetson was born in 2022. The time is now and Florida is leading the way! 🛫
This morning, history was made in Tampa Bay with Florida’s first Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) electric aircraft demonstration flights. From the first commercial airline flight over Tampa Bay in 1914, to today’s AAM demonstrations along that same historic route, Florida has long been a launchpad for new ideas that shape the future of transportation.
I’m proud that Florida is a place where groundbreaking transportation technologies can be developed and deployed. Thanks to strategic investments, education partnerships, and policies that promote innovation, we’re ensuring that Florida continues to lead the way in aviation and aerospace.
Time to buckle up buttercup! 💥⚾️

The words "2026 Fall Classic" are also visible in the sky. On the left is a cityscape of St. Petersburg and on the right is a cityscape of Milwaukee. Text of both team name as well as "TB vs. MIL" are scattered around the graphic.

Made a quick stop to see @MyFDOT crews while visiting the impacted areas from the storm. Grateful for team members who are willing to drop everything and serve their communities like these cut and toss crews. Appreciate all the state agencies working around the clock for Floridians.
Today, @FDOT_Secretary Jared Perdue and Chief Operations Officer Will Watts visited our Milton Operations team. Following any storm, our FDOT front line crews are often the first boots on the ground to impacted areas and are key players during response efforts.

That’s a series W and an MLB-best 55th home victory for @RaysBaseball!

More than one-quarter of Florida’s transportation workforce is set to retire in the next 5 years, making it a major focus for FDOT to expand our workforce development initiatives. Together with our industry partners, we are ushering in the next generation of a skilled workforce.
As Florida’s transportation system evolves to meet the needs of the future, our workforce needs to evolve with it.
During Workforce Development Month, FDOT is proud to highlight our commitment to connecting talented job seekers with rewarding careers in the transportation sector while investing in education, skills development, and long-term career pathways.
