DELAND, Fla. (AP) — As Washington was roiled by the news that one of President Donald Trump’s top aides added a journalist to a group chat discussing military plans, many Republicans going to the polls to replace that White House aide’s old U.S. House seat have brushed off the story.
Early voting is underway in Florida to replace Mike Waltz, who is now Trump’s national security adviser.
“I think it was a faux pas, and it was a mistake that somebody made,” said Gary Caples, a Republican voter in DeLand, Florida.
