Primary Races to Watch Today

“The star of Tuesday’s primaries is President Donald Trump’s adopted home state, where outgoing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis moved to redraw congressional maps,” Semafor reports.

“With that, DeSantis fired the starting gun for ambitious Republicans to seek new safe-looking seats, simultaneously retiring Tampa- and Orlando-area Democrats who are now competing for Trump-won districts. The remapping also set off two bitter Democratic primaries in South Florida, where pro-Israel Democrats are facing progressive challengers.”

“Somehow, the strangest race in the state has been unaffected; it’s a competition for a deep-red seat where most of the leading candidates moved in recently from Illinois, New York, or North Carolina.”
