Tuesday's Florida primaries saw Cory Mills lose despite President Trump's endorsement, while Byron Donalds, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Jared Moskowitz won their respective contests. The races also highlighted disputes over redistricting, representation and U.S. support for Israel.
Republican Rep. Cory Mills lost his reelection primary to Ryan Elijah despite retaining Trump's endorsement. The article reports that Mills faces a House Ethics Committee investigation and a Department of Justice investigation, and that a judge issued a restraining order after allegations by his former girlfriend; Mills denied the allegations. The article says the result suggests limits to how long Republicans will support a candidate facing scandals. Republican Rep. Byron Donalds won his party's nomination for Florida governor and called for Republicans to unite after a bruising primary.
Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz won in a redrawn, historically Black district after her decision to run there drew criticism; she said representation was a priority. Rep. Jared Moskowitz defeated a progressive challenger, Oliver Larkin, in a race that highlighted differing positions on U.S. aid to Israel. The article says Moskowitz faces a competitive general election.
