Byron Donalds engagement report
@ByronDonalds - 1.2M followers on X
Measured over 92 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.5K interactions against 1.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.127%. Measured over 92 original posts, its engagement rate beats 76% of 3,862 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 38K times each, and 3.92% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.22% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 92 posts sampled, 66% carry an image or video and 25% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 80K interactions, about 54x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Byron Donalds's engagement rate beats 76% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 87% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 12:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

I arrived in the Sunshine State at 17 years old on a Greyhound bus, with a trunk full of clothes and a dream. Now is the time to keep the best state in the country as the best state in the country. Tonight, I am proud to announce my candidacy to be the next governor of Florida. https://t.co/8jUHXw8A34

Good morning, Florida. I spent 17 years in the financial industry. I voted to cut your taxes. I will fight to make Florida more affordable — from fixing our insurance market to delivering real property tax relief. Democrat David Jolly wants to socialize our insurance market. He was AGAINST no tax on tips, no tax on social security, and even opposed the child tax credit. Florida cannot afford David Jolly.

The President of the United States called into the NASA press conference after the historic Roman Telescope launch. There is a reason nearly 70% of Americans support NASA's return to the Moon, compared with just 35% during the Kennedy era. The world’s most accomplished space agency, backed by @POTUS, bipartisan support in Congress, and an extraordinary workforce, can absolutely achieve the near impossible. We are returning astronauts to the Moon, building the base, getting underway on nuclear power in space, with many more exciting missions like Roman to follow!

Florida is the #1 state in America. Why does David Jolly want to change that? He wants to bring the same radical, failed policies that ruined California and the Northeast. As governor, I will protect and continue the Florida Dream built on our common-sense conservative agenda. https://t.co/Tb3CsziFpU

Florida is where I met my beautiful wife @ErikaDonalds and raised three incredible boys. Florida gave me the opportunity to build a career and represent my neighbors. Unlike @davidjollyfl, I’ll never apologize for Florida. Floridians deserve leaders who understand that this is the greatest state in America.

Happy birthday to my oldest son, Damon. Your mother @ErikaDonalds and I are so proud of the incredible man you’ve become. Enjoy your day! https://t.co/RB8FQagD4o

Florida is the envy of the nation because we chose FREEDOM. David Jolly is running to take that freedom away — restricting your Second Amendment rights, expanding government, and standing in the way of Floridians pursuing their own Florida Dream. Not on my watch.

Great morning at The Griddle in Boca Raton! This brought some back memories of waiting tables at Cracker Barrel as a young man. Let me tell you, no tax on tips would have been a game-changer for me back then. I was proud to fight for no tax on tips and as governor, I’ll always work to cut your taxes.

David Jolly and Angie Nixon want more government, higher taxes, socialized insurance, and less freedom. I reject that. As Governor, I will fight to keep our state free and affordable.

Posts are seen about 38K times each, and 3.92% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.22% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.
