WASHINGTON (AP) — Florida Gov. Rick Scott says he won't endorse any Republican presidential candidate ahead of the state's March 15 primary — a blow to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and to front runner Donald Trump.
Scott posted a message on his Facebook page Thursday, where he says he would "trust the voters" to decide who should be the GOP nominee. Scott said he based his decision partly on the fact that the state's Republican establishment opposed his bid for governor backed in 2010. Rubio campaigned for Scott in 2014. And some expected Scott to endorse Trump.
Scott had previously written an opinion piece where he praised Donald Trump and said he had the pulse of the nation's voters dissatisfied with President Barack Obama.
