Wasserman Schultz Clinches Dem Nomination as Trump-Backed GOP Flops in Florida Primaries

Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz won her party’s nomination in Florida’s redrawn 20th District, avoiding a loss after a crowded field that included Cherfilus-McCormick; on the GOP side, Trump-endorsed candidates Cory Mills and Catalina Lauf were defeated, with Mills facing ethics probes and a DOJ investigation.

Backlash in Black-Plural Florida District as Wasserman Schultz Enters Race

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz announced she will run in Florida’s newly redrawn 20th Congressional District—a Black-plurality seat long represented by Black Democrats—sparking fierce pushback from Black leaders and candidates who fear vote-splitting. Four Black contenders have floated consolidating behind one or two rivals to challenge her as the district’s maps were drawn amid ongoing redistricting and a Supreme Court decision on race considerations. The seat is open after Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned following ethics findings and a federal indictment, with others like Luke Campbell and Dale Holness in the race. Wasserman Schultz had about $2.5 million raised by March, giving her a fundraising edge as the field coalesces and party dynamics evolve; House leadership and CBC members have offered cautious or undecided endorsements.
