| 0:00.0 | Welcome everybody. We had more primary elections last night. They are wholly irrelevant to who will be the nominee for each of the two parties. |
| 0:15.1 | We know that Joe Biden and Donald Trump will be the nominees, but there was a very, very interesting |
| 0:21.0 | data point yesterday in Florida. Despite dropping out of the |
| 0:25.8 | Republican primary race weeks ago, Nicky Haley still got more than 150,000 votes |
| 0:31.2 | in the Florida Republican primary. |
| 0:34.3 | And this is not a good sign for Donald Trump, |
| 0:36.7 | and it actually does show some signs of hope |
| 0:39.5 | in some total when it comes to Florida and more generally and that's what I want to talk about with you today. |
| 0:45.6 | So first and foremost results yesterday from the Washington Post. |
| 0:49.2 | Trump securing 81% of that Florida Republican primary with a little over 900,000 votes and |
| 0:57.1 | Nicky Haley with 14% 155,000 votes and and then Ron Desantis long exited from that race, 41,000 votes. |
| 1:08.8 | Christie got about 9,000, okay. |
| 1:11.8 | So what is the most interesting part of this? It's not that Donald Trump won. |
| 1:16.1 | It's not that Donald Trump won with 81% of the vote. It's that despite being the only person still in the race, 200,000 Republican voters in Florida, |
| 1:28.2 | with Trump already having clench this nomination, cared enough about voting for someone else that they went out and |
| 1:36.7 | voted for Nicky Haley or Ron DeSantis or Christie or Vivek Ramaswami or the elusive Ryan Binkley or Asa Hutchinson and that is |
| 1:47.7 | potentially a sign that there is a non-insignificent portion of that Republican electorate in Florida that is going to be |
| 1:56.1 | similarly motivated in November to go out and vote for someone other than Donald Trump, |
| 2:02.0 | probably Joe Biden, or will stay home altogether. |
| 2:06.0 | Let me put it a different way. |
| 2:07.9 | If Trump has already secured the nomination, which he has, and you choose to go out and vote for someone else despite knowing |
| 2:16.7 | that it is going to have no impact on the nominee. You are not super likely to in November go out and enthusiastically vote for Trump. |
