Potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) said Tuesday if he decides to run, he might forego the Florida primary, according to The New York Times.
In an interview with conservative radio host Laura Ingraham, Walker noted the home-field advantage that his potential rivals, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), hold in the state.
“The neat thing about being around the country is that if we choose to get in, I don’t think there’s a state out there where we couldn’t play in, other than maybe Florida, where Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio are at least in some of the polls essentially tied,” Walker told Ingraham, according to the Times. “They’re going to eat up a lot of the financial advantage that Governor Bush is going to have.”
