Walker Supports Letting Delegates Vote for Others

June 21, 2016 · 5:49 pm ET · 114 Comments

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) said that delegates to next month’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland should “vote the way they see fit,” which could mean not necessarily supporting presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, Politico reports.

Said Walker: “I think historically, not just this year, delegates are and should be able to vote the way they see fit. We’ll see how things go between now and the convention as to what the next steps are. I’m not going to speculate now only because you all know the situation may change by this afternoon, let alone between now and the convention.”
