Florida — In the state’s August primaries, Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D‑FL) and Jared Moskowitz (D‑FL) secured victories in their respective House Democratic contests, reaffirming the strength of pro‑Israel voices within Florida’s congressional delegation.
Wasserman Schultz, a longtime incumbent, ran in the 20th Congressional District, a seat reshaped by Republican‑led redistricting earlier this year. Moskowitz, also Jewish and pro‑Israel, successfully campaigned in the 25th Congressional District, which had previously been represented by Wasserman Schultz.
Both lawmakers defeated challengers who had accused Israel of genocide in Gaza, underscoring the ongoing divide within the Democratic Party over U.S. policy toward Israel. Their wins highlight the resilience of pro‑Israel incumbents in districts with diverse constituencies, despite facing opponents aligned with anti‑Zionist rhetoric.
The outcome ensures continued representation of Jewish, pro‑Israel leadership in Florida’s House delegation, reinforcing bipartisan support for Israel at the federal level.
