Florida Primaries Shape 2024 Election | Texas News

Florida’s primaries are heating up as Republicans and Democrats battle for control in key races, with Trump’s influence looming large. In the governor’s race, Byron Donalds, backed by Trump, faces off against Jay Collins and James Fishback, while Democrat David Jolly, a former GOP lawmaker, seeks to lead the charge — all because DeSantis can’t run for a third term. In the Senate, Democrat Angie Nixon and Alex Vindman, the impeachment hearings veteran, clash for Rubio’s old seat, while Republican Ashley Moody, Trump-endorsed, looks strong. In Congress, Debbie Wasserman Schultz defends her seat in a newly drawn majority-Black district against challengers like Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who’s making a comeback. With Republicans now outnumbering Democrats, primary turnout could be the key to November’s outcome — and these races are revealing whether Democrats can claw back ground or if Florida continues its rightward shift, with Trump’s endorsements proving decisive.
