Leaked grand jury report rekindles Florida funding controversy in midterms

Ashley Moody and AG James Uthmeier as Florida’s midterm races heat up; the report concludes there’s insufficient evidence for criminal charges and officials dispute the framing, while reactions from across the political spectrum shape the campaign landscape.
