President Trump, looking to win back the White House in November, expressed total indifference towards Republicans and RINOs not backing him during his Florida visit on Tuesday, shortly after participating in the state’s primary election, Fox reports.
Addressing reporters after casting his ballot, Trump shrugged off questions about his former vice president Mike Pence’s decision not to endorse him against President Biden. “Oh, I couldn’t care less,” Trump remarked, calling for “strong people” in the country amidst what he sees as rapid decline. “We don’t need weak people,” he declared.

Pence, who refrained from endorsing Trump, cited his commitment to promoting a broad conservative agenda. Despite their past partnership, Pence’s stance reflects lingering tensions between the two since the 2020 election.
In a similar vein, Ohio Republican Bernie Moreno, victorious in his primary contest for U.S. Senate, rallied support for Trump, urging Republicans to embrace the former president. “This is a good man. This is a great American,” Moreno asserted, echoing sentiments of Trump’s unwavering dedication to the nation.
As the sole contender remaining in the Republican presidential primary, Trump’s candidacy draws endorsements from figures like Moreno, underscoring a push for party unity ahead of the November elections.
The Trump team will be looking to strike while the iron is hot, as Biden continues to fall flat in polling as Americans continue to deal with inflation, a cost of living crisis, an opioid crisis, and a border crisis which is making every single one of those issues worse.
