Debbie Wasserman Schultz Faces Racially Complex Primary

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Democrat from Florida, is vying for reelection in a primary filled with racial complexities. Despite general consensus on the importance of experience, opinions diverge on which kind matters most.

Wasserman Schultz took to the stage at a Fourth of July event in Sunrise, Florida, aiming for a 12th term amid redistricting changes. Her district was reshaped by Republicans to enhance their prospects in the upcoming midterm elections.

Faced with a decision, Wasserman Schultz had to choose whether to remain in her mostly Democratic area or enter a newly configured, largely White district that favored Donald Trump by a margin of 10 percentage points.
