Trump wins Florida, Republicans pick up two key congressional seats

Share

Florida Democrats are reeling after President Donald Trump won Florida by an astonishing 3.5%+ over former Vice President Joe Biden, but the results of two congressional seats in Miami-Dade County have left Democrats speechless.

Incumbent Democrat Reps. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell and Donna Shalala, both lost their congressional reelection races in what appears to be a clear rebuke of Socialism by the Cuban exile community. Republicans were able to effectively paint both 'DMP' and Shalala as Socialism-minded legislators who support an extreme Progressive/Socialist ideology and agenda.

Rep. Shalala actually called herself a socialist while Rep. Mucarsel-Powell’s questionable support for Medicare for All and her possible support for the controversial Green New Deal — two Progressive measures that Republicans have effectively branded as pro-socialist issues.

Both Shalala and 'DMP' voted alongside the Progressive House "Squad" over 93% of the time. 

Gimenez Defeats Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell

“Mucarsel-Powell is not the moderate or centrist Democrat that ran for congress in 2018. The freshman congresswoman appears to have gone all-in with the current Socialism-lite Democratic Party that supports “Medicare for All.” 

Gimenez has already accused Mucarsel-Powell of backing the Ocasio-Cortez’s expensive “Green New Deal” that Republicans call a job-killer.”

Here is how the rest of Florida’s congressional delegation faired last night:
