FL Officials: Unite Behind Trump

Florida Gov. Rick Scott
State of Florida, Meredyth Hope Hall

Florida Republicans—both early Donald Trump supporters and late—are making their presence felt at the Republican National Convention.

Wednesday night Florida’s governor and attorney general spoke at the GOP convention.  Attorney General Pam Bondi backed Trump early.  Governor Rick Scott says now is the time for everyone to unite behind Donald Trump.

“It’s time for all Americans to put down their partisan banners, vote for the survival of the greatest country in the world and do the right thing for this country,” he says. “Vote for Donald Trump.”

Scott threw his support behind Trump after the New York real estate tycoon won Florida’s Republican primary.
