The Broward County elections supervisor, a new subject of Trump's ire, was appointed by Jeb Bush
More than two years after the Republican presidential primaries of 2016, President Trump and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's paths have once again crossed.
Trump on Friday joined Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) in expressing frustration with Broward County, where votes are still being counted in the state's Senate race. Scott's lead has continued to narrow as votes are counted in this largely Democratic county. Scott on Thursday announced he would be suing Broward County and specifically Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes, alleging that "unethical liberals" are trying to "steal this election from the people of Florida." On Friday, Trump appeared to go after Snipes as well, saying she has a "horrible history," CNN reports.
