BULLETINSTORM27

Ron DeSantis, who ended his presidential campaign
65
BULLETINUS ELECTION65
00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:54,120
last night. The Florida governor dropped

was clear
69
BULLETINUS ELECTION69
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,540
the party's supporters wanted to give Mr Trump

another chance. Appearing at a rally, the former

without Mr DeSantis' votes.
73
BULLETINUS ELECTION73

The polls say that most of those votes are

BULLETINUS ELECTION74
00:03:11,370 --> 00:03:13,960
certainly many of them come to us, but we

00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,630
don't need them because the poll just came out.

Suffolk just came out. Boston Globe.
