John Couriel, a Republican running for Sen. Marco Rubio's old seat in the Florida legislature, said he expects his nominally Republican district to go for Hillary Clinton by "quite a bit." Though Republicans outnumber Democrats in the district, President Obama narrowly won it in 2012. "Our Republican base hasn't known quite what to do with Donald Trump," Couriel said. He voted for Jeb Bush, the former governor who dropped out of the race during the GOP primary. But noted he got his start in politics writing speeches for Bush.
