A day after Donald Trump’s victory in the Florida Republican primary, that state’s governor, Rick Scott, has endorsed Trump for president.

“The voters are speaking clearly,” Scott wrote in a message on his Facebook page. “They want a businessman outsider who will dramatically shake up the status quo in Washington.”

Scott warned that if Republicans do not coalesce behind Trump, defeat could await them in November.

“I’m asking all Republicans today to come together and begin preparing to win the general election,” he said.
