The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

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.
