JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Winning the Florida Republican primary is imperative for Sen. Marco Rubio if he wants to be the GOP nominee. While winning Florida's 99 Republican delegates may not be enough, without them, he has no path to the nomination.
News 6 sister station WJXT reports the latest polling shows Rubio trailing Donald Trump in Florida, but much of Florida's Republican establishment has lined up behind the senator -- including Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry -- and Rubio has started campaigning aggressively across the Sunshine State.
