Two Trump-backed candidates lose, Debbie Wasserman Schultz wins in Tuesday’s House primaries

Key Points:

• Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz won her party’s nomination for re-election in Florida’s 20th District, despite redistricting efforts by Republicans to create GOP-leaning districts and a crowded field of Black Democratic candidates.
• Two Republican House candidates backed by former President Donald Trump, Rep. Cory Mills and Catalina Lauf, lost their primary bids amid controversies and strong challengers in Florida.
• Other notable primary winners include Rep. Jared Moskowitz in the 25th District, Sydney Gruters in the 16th District, and Austin Rogers in the 2nd District, with several primaries setting up key battleground races for the November general election.
• Several competitive races are emerging in Florida districts redrawn to favor Republicans, including contests involving Democratic incumbents Jared Moskowitz, Darren Soto, Kathy Castor, and Pia Dandiya facing Republican challengers.
• Democrats are targeting Republican-held seats such as the 27th District, where Elliot Rodriguez will challenge Rep. María Elvira Salazar, and the 13th District, where Leela Gray will face Rep. Anna Paulina Luna.
