This Republican legislator isn't sure he'd vote for Donald Trump in November


Rep. David Jolly (R-Fla.) is stumped. In an interview with AM970 The Answer's Effective Radio, Jolly said he doesn't know if he'd back Donald Trump in a November matchup.
"I have strong reservations about some of Donald Trump's solutions to some of the security issues we face as a country. Those are real reservations," he said. "Now, I will tell you I also have strong disagreements with Secretary Clinton over her view of foreign policy. So, I think like a lot of Americans, we are gonna have to begin to spend the summer studying the candidates and decide who's best for the future of the country."
Jolly is running for Marco Rubio's Senate seat. Listen below to the audio, which was flagged Monday by BuzzFeed News' Andrew Kaczynski. Julie Kliegman
