Florida's Republican Party is rallying around President Donald Trump's 2020 reelection campaign, with the state GOP chairman rejecting calls to cancel a primary he says Trump will win in a"blowout."
"He's just so popular that I think it helps him," Gruters, a state senator from Sarasota, said of holding the Republican primary vote."There's just no need to cancel something when it's going to be an absolute blowout." Gruters said some Republicans were pressuring him to cancel the presidential primary alongside four other states, South Carolina, Nevada, Kansas and Alaska. Although many strategists have argued that the emergence of primary challengers is a sign of dissension among the party ranks, Gruters said"the president has so much support," he sees no need to"stifle" the primary voting process.
"They’re going to get annihilated," Florida GOP chairman Joe Gruters said of President Trump's 2020 primary challengers"But it actually abolishes party primaries for governor, cabinet, and the state legislature, in favor of a jungle primary that can be more easily manipulated by special interests and political consultants," Gruters argued.
