Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said Donald Trump’s victory in Tuesday night’s Republican primaries across multiple states comes with some serious red flags.
While the former president won handily in Florida, Ohio, Arizona, Kansas and Illinois, the number of people who turned out to vote against him was unusually high ― especially given that all of his rivals have quit the race, Kinzinger said.
Trump won about 81% of the vote in Florida, 79% in Ohio, 81% in Illinois, 78% in Arizona and 76% in Kansas, based on results early Wednesday from The Associated Press.
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who dropped out two weeks ago, won 14 to 20% of the vote over those states.
Kinzinger wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
The fact that Haley is still getting almost 20 percent in these states AFTER dropping out is a badddddd sign for Chief Whiney.

Other Trump critics also pointed to a potential sign of weakness in Tuesday night’s numbers:
20% of Republican voters in Florida voting for Haley (15%), Desantis (4%) and Christie (1%) after they all dropped out is another very bad sign for Trump. They can’t spin it on Democrats crossing over this time because FL is a completely closed, Republicans-only primary.

Tonight in Florida's closed Republican primary, 200,000 Republicans have voted against Trump so far.
Biden, by contrast, consistently receives over 90% of the vote, no matter which ballot he's on.

These results from Florida and Ohio are a klaxon in the night for the GOP. Closed primaries with large numbers of voters saying not just “no” but “never”. These aren’t Dems in Republican clothing. They are faithful members of a once-proud political party. https://t.co/6hYa1Rf2Yl

Nikki Haley getting over 150K votes in Florida after dropping out weeks ago can’t be a good sign for Trump pic.twitter.com/fJ2j64mg3h

Trump is absolutely in trouble in Florida. Just in Orange County, there were at least 30 precincts in which he got less than 70% of the vote in a closed-primary in a non-election. Look at precinct 522 in Winter Park…. 49%... https://t.co/pjM1EUUG0spic.twitter.com/kZ7518FuPe

Donald Trump only getting 80% of the 2024 Florida Republican Presidential primary vote may seem like a lot, except that he’s not running against anyone and in 2020 he got 94% of the @GOP Presidential primary vote.
Trump is weak, getting weaker and in trouble this November.👇🏼 pic.twitter.com/wg9XVmVzVH— Fernand R. Amandi (@AmandiOnAir) March 20, 2024
The results of the Florida GOP primary should terrify Trump and the GOP.
Florida is a closed primary state. Nikki Haley is getting 15% of the vote.
That's a MASSIVE number of registered R's casting a protest vote against Trump. They aren't going to vote for him in November. pic.twitter.com/1y4XDdopHv— Peter Henlein (@SwissWatchGuy) March 19, 2024
GOP primary votes against Trump tonight:
Kansas - 25%
Arizona - 25%
Ohio - 21%
Illinois - 19%
Florida - 19%
This is not a united Republican Party.— Matt McDermott (@mattmfm) March 20, 2024
