Florida GOP Senate Hopefuls Have Mixed Feelings About Trump

TAMPA (CBSMiami/AP) — With Donald Trump as the likely GOP presidential nominee, some Republican Senate candidates hoping to share the ballot with him have mixed feelings.
Florida's open Senate seat is one of the keys to which party will control power over the chamber after this year's election, and turnout in the presidential race will have an effect on the Senate race.
U.S. Rep. David Jolly says he can't support Trump — at least not yet. U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis said he's supporting Trump because he's the likely nominee. Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera wouldn't directly say he'd vote for Trump.
Then there are the two political outsiders in the race — businessmen Todd Wilcox and Carlos Beruff. Both feel a Trump candidacy helps their campaigns.
