In a commanding victory, former President Donald Trump secured the Florida primary, taking all 125 delegates and leaving GOP rivals, including Governor Ron DeSantis, in the dust. DeSantis’s performance in his own state was notably poor, achieving only 4% of the vote, trailing behind Nikki Haley. Despite the forecasted competitiveness due to the presence of well-funded candidates, turnout was lower than anticipated. Trump’s campaign remains confident in his dominance extending through to the November election, amid expectations that Florida will continue to support him. Opposition voices, such as Florida Democratic Party chair Nikki Fried, highlight a decrease in support among moderate Republicans due to concerns over extremism.
Will the decrease in support among moderate Republicans affect Trump's chances in the general election?
