Former Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz has won her party’s nomination for re-election in Florida’s 20th Congressional District. The race was marked by controversy over redistricting, and Wasserman Schultz faced criticism from some for being an “outsider” who “parachuted” into the district. Simultaneously, two Republican House candidates endorsed by President Donald Trump lost their primary bids in Florida.
Bloomberg News notes Wasserman Schultz is a prolific fundraiser and once-prominent messenger for the Democratic Party. The Blaze highlights criticism from a Republican who characterized her as an outsider. No right-leaning sources reported on the losses of the Trump-backed candidates, while NBC News and Bloomberg reported on Wasserman Schultz’s win and the Republican primary results. The circumstances surrounding the district’s redrawing and Wasserman Schultz’s decision to run there have drawn scrutiny, but details of those controversies are not fully detailed in the available reporting.
The outcome of these primaries sets the stage for the general election, where Wasserman Schultz will seek to retain her seat and other candidates will compete for open positions.
