Democratic candidate David Jolly is skipping all debates with his Republican opponent in the race for Florida governor.

Jolly announced his decision on Sunday, a little over six weeks before the general election. He accused Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) of peddling “repeated lies” and acting in “bad faith.” For that reason, Jolly argued the debates “would not create constructive, honest conversation and only further stoke division, animosity, and bad will.”
