Longtime Democrat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Tuesday evening won Florida’s US House 20 Democrat primary.
Earlier this year, Black Democrats lashed out at Democrat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz for her decision to run for reelection in a district with a majority black population.
Wasserman Schultz was first elected to Congress in 2004 to represent Florida’s 25th District.
However, Wasserman Schultz was forced to run in Florida’s 20th Congressional District after Republican lawmakers redistricted and reshaped the map.
Wasserman Shultz ran in an area that was represented by Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, a black lawmaker who resigned earlier this year after she was indicted on fraud charges.
Black Democrats lashed out at Wasserman Schultz and attacked her for running in a district with a large black population.
“I think, for sure, it was a bad move by the congresswoman to run in this district. It was selfish and all about her, her career, and not about the community. She failed to do any meaningful dialogue with the community before announcing her run, and it comes off as a hostile takeover of the district,” said Elijah Manley, a 27-year-old Black Democrat and progressive organizer running against her in the primary.
“I mean, so many people she ignored and didn’t have conversations with, from the Florida Legislative Black Caucus, and the chair of that caucus as well, to the Black elected officials.”
On Tuesday evening, Debbie Wasserman Schultz clinched the primary.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is one of the most corrupt Democrats in Congress.
Recall that Wasserman Schultz employed Pakistani IT staffers and brothers who were paid over $4 million dollars over the course of their employment even though they were accused of a cyber-security breach
Imran Awan worked for Debbie Wasserman Schultz for thirteen years since she came into office in 2004 as a Florida representative.
