Florida GOP Party Writes Harris: “Your Campaign Faces Irreparable Damage… No Other Choice But To Revoke Our Support"…

Party Chairman Carole Jean Jordan made a last-ditch attempt in the confidential May 7 letter to force Harris out of the race for the nomination to challenge Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson (news, bio, voting record). But the next day, Harris turned in paperwork to get her name on the Sept. 5 Republican primary ballot.
