Debbie Wasserman Schultz Wins Primary

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz won the Democratic primary for Florida’s redrawn 20th Congressional District, with the AP calling the race at 7:24 p.m. Eastern when she had 50.5% of the vote and 67% counted. Wasserman Schultz defeated four Democratic challengers, including former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, in a Broward County-based, majority-minority district where she was the only white candidate. The win positions the 21-year House incumbent for a 12th term after Republican mapmakers eliminated her prior district and she campaigned on seniority, constituent services and federal funding.
