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

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.
