Donald Trump was already his party’s presumptive nominee before winning Tuesday’s Florida primary , but rivals who were no longer campaigning managed to siphon off nearly one out of five GOP voters statewide.
In Key Biscayne, the margin of Trump’s win was even smaller. He captured less than 60%, with former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley getting nearly 37% of the vote. Turnout among the 2,422 registered Republicans was about 17%.
There was little suspense about Tuesday’s results, with Trump also scoring easy wins in Illinois, Kansas and Ohio. Biden did the same except in Florida, where Democrats had canceled their primary and opted to award all 224 of their delegates to Biden. They were expected to sweep Arizona’s primaries as well.
There were 125 Republican delegates at stake for Republicans in Florida.
