DT Marks DEFI LLC, controlled by Donald Trump and his family, holds 22.5 billion tokens and receives 75% of sales revenue, while the project lists Trump family members in prominent roles; World Liberty Financial maintains it has robust compliance measures with no evidence of wrongdoing.

The Republican Party of Florida nixed its planned June 27 gubernatorial primary debate after U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, endorsed by President Trump, was the only candidate to meet criteria like 10% poll support, $10 million raised, and 10,000 donors. Polls show Donalds leading at 38.8% to 54%, with Lt. Gov. Jay Collins at 7.6%, investor James Fishback at 4.1%, and former House Speaker Paul Renner at 2.2%. Gov. Ron DeSantis called the move counterproductive, arguing voters deserve to see candidates debate, while Donalds' camp dismissed alternatives as participation trophies; the party now offers individual speeches ahead of the August 18 primary.
