“As much as Carlos Curbelo and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen have tried to run away from their party’s standard bearer – the day they feared has finally arrived: Donald Trump has surpassed the required number of delegates to claim the Republican nomination. No matter what type of verbal gymnastics and tricks Curbelo and Ros-Lehtinen try to pull, their state party is firmly behind Trump, and they will be sharing a ticket with him whether they like it or not,” said Jermaine House of the DCCC.

Florida GOP to Donald Trump: Congrats on reaching 1,237 – Miami Herald

From Republican Party of Florida Chairman Blaise Ingoglia:
“The Republican Party of Florida would like to congratulate Donald Trump on surpassing the required number of delegates to clinch the Republican nomination for president. Throughout this primary Mr. Trump has generated a historic voter turnout and built an unstoppable momentum that dwarfs the efforts of the Democrats – a testament to voters’ eagerness for a new leader that will not promote the same failed policies of the last eight years.”
