After Ron DeSantis signed Florida's new congressional maps, Debbie Wasserman Schultz abandoned her current district once it got redder and jumped into the 20th, a plurality-Black seat she doesn't live in and that has sent a Black representative to Congress for decades. In this video, I break down why she might actually win it. The math is brutal and simple: she's the only white candidate in the race, but the four challengers splitting the vote against her (Elijah Manley, Luther Campbell, former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, and Broward County Mayor Dale Holness) could fracture the opposition enough to let her slip through on a plurality. I walk through the numbers and make the case that Elijah Manley, a 27-year-old progressive organizer, would most likely beat Wasserman Schultz in a straight head-to-head, which is exactly why some are pushing the Black candidates in the field to coalesce behind one name before August 18. If they don't, the crowded field becomes her single biggest advantage.
