Live: Jim Schwartzel, a local media mogul, prevailed in the Republican primary for Florida’s 19th Congressional District, which is Byron Donalds’s current seat.
An actual Floridian won in what many described to me as the GOP “carpetbagger primary” to replace Rep. Donalds. Seven candidates were out of staters, not to mention came with baggage. • • My favorite fact about this race: Catalina Lauf, who Trump endorsed, ran against Jim Olberweis in 2020 in Illinois. Both ran here this year!

Happy election night - here's where we are in the first hour of returns. • • FL • - Rep. Cory Mills, R-FL, is losing his House primary by six points. Most in GOP delighted. (Dems lose their best chance of a pickup there.) • - In US Senate race, progressive Angie Nixon has beat Dem Alex Vindman of impeachment 1.0 fame. Big win for progressives. (Republican Ashley Moody likely not sad either.) • - Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is the winner in FL-20, after moving districts due to remapping • - In wild FL-19, somehow two former congressmen AND President Trump have all lost. Talk radio station owner Jim Schwartzel (who supports Trump but did not get the endorsement in the primary) wins. Madison Cawthorne and Chris Collins each were in single-digit percentages.
