Sandoval Unsure Of Voting For Trump

Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval has said his support for presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is, in his words, not for sure, and that he, quote "cannot say [he] will definitely vote for Mr. Trump." 

The governor told the Las Vegas Review-Journal today Trump's recent remarks calling into question federal judge Gonzalo Curiel were unacceptable, adding, in his words, "you can't defend the indefensible."

Sandoval's support for Trump only came after the businessman had effectively locked up the Republican nomination.

The governor voted for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio in the Nevada caucuses, and later endorsed Ohio Gov. John Kasich formally.

Sandoval has already said he will not attend the Republican National Convention taking place later this summer.
