But progressives did see a loss in the 25th congressional district where DSA back candidate Oliver Larkin failed to prevail against the incumbent Jared Moskowitz.
Why did the DSA‑backed candidate lose in Florida's 25th congressional district?

Fox's Ashley Strohmeyer. Stalemate remains in the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump insists it's open and the U.S. controls it. Immediately

Sue Guzman, Fox News.
