President Trump endorsed Donald a long time ago, and it helped greatly.

Claims of Byron Donalds’ crimes dropped hours before the election, and an endorsement for another candidate, James Fishback, was claimed. It apparently turned out to be a lie.

Fishback called Donalds a DEI hire.

The list of supporters for Fishback included many individuals who once held high esteem with conservatives.

Donald was arrested years ago shortly after high school. According to reports, his crimes were eventually expunged.
According to MSM, Donalds was arrested for possession of marijuana when he was a teen, and that charge was dismissed. He was also involved in a second-degree felony arrest, but that record was expunged.
