Trump has lost support in Florida since 2020, when he won about 94 percent of the vote in its state primary compared with this year's 81 percent.
Donald Trump suffered a blow in Tuesday's primary in Florida, a state he only narrowly won in the 2020 presidential election, after thousands of Republicans refused to vote for him.While the former president won the primary with 910,857 votes, 81.2 percent of the overall share, some 197,000 people, or 17.8 percent, voted for either Nikki Haley or Ron DeSantis, despite both candidates having dropped out of the race.
Despite enjoying widespread support from members of his party, a significant number of moderates in the GOP have said they would never vote for the former president and the party has seen infighting in Congress and in its governing body, the Republican National Committee in recent weeks.Haley, the former South Carolina governor, dropped out of the primary race earlier this month in the wake of Super Tuesday, but still received 13.
