ELECTION 2024: Trump Rules in Brevard, Takes 82.16 Percent of the Presidential Preference Primary Vote

Trump tallies 81 percent of the vote statewide

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Former President Donald Trump took 82.16 percent of the vote on the Space Coast in the Republican Presidential Preference Primary held Tuesday. Voter turnout on the Space Coast was almost 24 percent, and the final results are:

■ Nikki Haley: 12.96%
■ Gov. Ron DeSantis: 3.57%
■ Chris Christie: 0.80%
■ Vivek Ramaswamy: 0.29%
■ Ryan Binkley: 0.12%
■ Asa Hutchinson: 0.10%

Trump scored 81.01 percent of the vote statewide, with Haley getting 14.04 percent and DeSantis came in at 3.66 percent.

President Joe Biden has a challenger for the Democratic nomination, Minnesota U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips. But, when the Democrats’ State Executive Committee met to finalize its primary ballot on Nov. 1, none of the 218 representatives on the committee submitted any other candidates for the ballot. Since only Biden was nominated, the state party chose to cancel the primary and award its delegates to Biden.
