A Trump-endorsed candidate for Florida state Senate lost his primary election by a wide margin on Tuesday night.
A Florida state Senate candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump has lost his Republican primary election to a candidate endorsed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.With more than 95 percent of the vote counted on Tuesday night, results showed that Trump-backed David Shoar was defeated by Florida state Representative Tom Leek by the considerable margin of 47 percent to 28 percent, according to The Associated Press.
Daytona Beach NBC affiliate WESH described Trump's endorsement of Shoar as 'really an extension of the feud' between the former president and DeSantis.While the Florida governor became the target of Trump's wrath after challenging him in the GOP presidential primaries, he has since gone on to endorse Trump's bid to return to the White House.
