Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.
Claimant: Byron Donalds (R)
Claim: Florida Democratic gubernatorial nominee David Jolly “wants more taxes on tips, overtime and Social Security.”
Rating: FALSE
Explanation: Jolly has not advocated raising taxes on Social Security, tips or overtime. His opposition to the broader federal tax-and-spending law focused on provisions involving Medicaid, SNAP and corporate tax breaks. Florida also has no state income tax, so a governor cannot raise the federal taxes referenced in the claim.
