Florida Governor Rick Scott is backing Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and is asking all Floridians to follow his lead. Trump garnered an unprecedented 46 percent of the vote on election night, beating out both Senator Marco Rubio and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush.
Bush has already dropped out of the race after the South Carolina primary election, but still had his name at the top of the ballot in Florida.Here is Scott’s Facebook post endorsing Trump:
I’m asking all Republicans today to come together and begin preparing to win the general election in November.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
With his victories yesterday, I believe it is now time for Republicans to accept and respect the will of the voters and coalesce behind Donald Trump.
This has been a hard fought primary, with an outstanding roster of excellent candidates, including two of Florida’s favorite sons, and several Republican Governors who are close friends of mine.
But the voters are speaking clearly – they want a businessman outsider who will dramatically shake up the status quo in Washington.When I first ran for Governor the political class and party leaders opposed me with great vigor, and some even said if I won the primary they would never vote for me. But the voters had other ideas, and they are the only ones who count.
Here’s what really matters – we have to elect a Republican in the fall in order to grow jobs, rebuild our military, and put a person who respects the Constitution on the Supreme Court.
This is the stuff that truly matters.
If we spend another four months tearing each other apart, we will damage our ability to win in November. It’s time for an end to the Republican on Republican violence. It’s time for us to begin coming together, we’ve had a vigorous primary, now let’s get serious about winning in November.-Rick Scott
Lopez-Cantera, who is close friend of Senator Marco Rubio, and even served as a surrogate Rubio at the last debate in Miami, Florida, has gone on the record to say that he doesn’t think he can support a Trump presidential candidacy.Lopez-Cantera and others hoping GOP senatorial candidates hoping to win Rubio’s Senate seat better come around to backing Trump, if they want to have any chance of replacing the outgoing senator from Florida.
