Florida primaries test GOP edge as new maps redraw the battleground

Voters head to the polls on Tuesday for Florida’s primaries—the first held under newly drawn maps aimed at boosting Republicans. Key races include a crowded GOP governor primary led by Byron Donalds with Trump’s endorsement, and a Senate contest to fill Rubio’s term featuring Republican Moody facing Democratic candidates Vindman and Nixon. Democrats contend with internal splits in newly drawn districts, including Wasserman Schultz in a South Florida seat, while Republicans like Cory Mills face ethics scrutiny. Overall, the results will gauge how far Florida’s redistricting has solidified the GOP edge ahead of November.
