The new maps in Florida will not be discarded, so there will be some reshuffling among Democrats. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is among those affected, and she sparked a controversy by running in a predominantly Black district. It has the potential to become a political race war, as several Black Democrats in the 20th district—where Schultz is trying to run—believe a person of color should represent that area in Congress.

Oh, it’s created drama. To her credit, Schults hasn’t backed down from the mob, claiming she is running on the issues and her experience, adding that her former district was majority Hispanic. That’s not the same thing, lady. Every member of the Democratic National Committee in the Florida 20th signed a letter condemning Schultz’s run:
