This wasn't an across-the-board win for the progressive candidates. matched

Oliver Larkin, who was backed by the DSA in Florida's 25th congressional district, lost his challenge to Congressman Jared Moskowitz. matched

I mean, this is a fairly moderate district, though. matched

It's one of the very few actual toss-up races in the country this year. matched

GOP lawmakers in Florida redrew this district this year to make it harder for Democrats to win that seat. matched

So it would have been a tough race for whoever wins. matched

And speaking of redistricting, Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz was drawn out of her district by Republicans earlier this year. matched

And she decided to run for one of the few safe Democratic seats, Florida's 20th congressional district. matched

And she won last night. matched

However, she ran against a slate of black candidates in that race. matched

This is a seat that had been held by a black representative for years. matched

So this outcome is pretty complicated for Democrats, especially in the wake of the Supreme Court all but gutting the Voting Rights Act this summer. matched

So it's two members of Congress running to replace DeSantis, who is term limited. matched

Byron Donald won the Republican nomination and former Republican representative now Democrat David Jolly won the Democratic nomination. matched

A Democrat hasn't been elected governor in Florida since the 90s. matched

So this is also a long shot for the party. matched

DeSantis' departure will be a big change in the state. matched

He pushed a very conservative agenda. matched

And since he took office, Florida has become a reliable state for his party. matched

Yeah, thank you. matched
