Florida’s presidential primary preference election takes place next week —- though Democrats won’t be voting — and early voting for the March 19 contest began over the weekend throughout the state.
For those who might not know: There will be no presidential primary election for Democratic voters next week. That’s because the Florida Democratic Party chose only President Joe Biden on the ballot when it convened last fall, though other candidates were in the race. The issue led to a federal lawsuit, which was dismissed in federal court in January.
As to the GOP, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley dropped out of the Republican presidential race last week, and Donald Trump will essentially run unopposed in his quest to become the GOP presidential nominee for the third straight election cycle.
