Trump’s Florida endorsements could swing Aug. primaries as GOP map reshapes delegation

With Florida’s congressional map being redrawn and several incumbents retiring or seeking other offices, President Trump’s endorsements could decisively influence the Aug. 18 GOP primaries. Florida officials say his backing often determines outcomes, and a wave of Trump-leaning ads is amplifying his sway. So far he has endorsed Sydney Gruters in the 16th District, with possible additional endorsements to come as mail ballots go out and early voting begins, potentially making Trump a kingmaker in a state that could see up to eight new House members.
