Trump, Knight admitted, “looks like, maybe, the presumptive nominee for the Republican Party — but we don’t know that yet.”
Knight’s north Los Angeles County district is almost evenly split between Democrats and Republicans, with 21% of voters listing no party preference.
In an interview after the debate, Knight said he was still “working on figuring out what I am going to do with the presidential race.”
Though Trump looks like he has locked up the nomination, Knight said he is still looking at “some of the situations that might happen in July” at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
“We still got a convention,” he said. “And they are not going to cancel the convention, and he still hasn’t gotten enough delegates. So until that happens, I think this is a moot point, I think this is something for sensationalism.”
