Socialist Congressional Candidate Slams White Dem Primary Opponent for Running in a Majority-Black Area

Far-left Democratic House hopeful Elijah Manley accused incumbent Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) on Monday of trying to “take away black representation” by running in Florida’s black-majority 20th Congressional District.

Wasserman Schultz, the former chair of the Democratic National Committee and a member of Congress since 2005, is the only white candidate running in the 20th District and she’s facing four black opponents, including Manley, in Tuesday’s primary.

Wasserman Schultz, 59, opted to run in the 20th District after Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis implemented a new congressional map earlier this year which significantly altered her current district (Florida’s 25th) and the district where she lives (Florida’s 22nd) to make them more GOP-friendly.

The crowded field in the 20th District Democratic primary includes Manley, indicted former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, 2 Live Crew rapper Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell and former Broward County Mayor Dale Holness.
