White liberal women talk a good game when it comes to ‘racial equity.’ That is, until it interferes with their own quest for power and control. Case in point, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL).

In May, The Gateway Pundit reported that a Leon County circuit judge  UPHELD Gov. Ron DeSantis’ (R) new congressional redistricting map.

Judge Joshua Hawkes denied the request for a temporary injunction from Equal Ground Florida and their attorneys at the Elias Law Group. The ruling means Florida’s new map — which shifts the state’s congressional delegation from a previous 20R-8D advantage to a dominant 24R-4D — will be used in the 2026 elections.

This map eliminated Wasserman Schultz’s old district, Florida’s 25th, and split it into five different districts,  most of them more Republican-leaning.

Rather than facing competition and running in the newly drawn FL-22, where she actually lives, Wasserman Schultz is putting her desire for personal power above all else and has chosen to run in Florida’s 20th District — a plurality-Black district in Broward County that has long been represented by Black Democrats.

FL-20 is a heavily Democrat district and is a safer bet for her to win re-election than the more competitive district where she resides.

She has said publicly that her seniority and political clout would allow her to deliver more for the district and, if Democrats regain the House majority in November, her long tenure would position her to chair a major committee.

Her self-serving decision has faced near-universal condemnation from Black Democrats in Florida.

Elijah Manley, the first candidate to enter the primary race for the district’s seat, noted, “I would not have expected the call would come from inside the house.“

“I didn’t think a white Democrat would be the one to take away a Black seat.”

Per NBC News, former Broward County Mayor Dale Holness, who is also running in FL-20 shared:

“It is disappointing that she was not sensitive to the call by many in the community,” he said. “I actually gave her polling data that showed she could win 22. At the time, there were not candidates in the race on the Democratic side.”

According to Fox News, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, (D-NY) has declined to endorse Wasserman Schultz’s re-election bid.

“Haven’t made a decision, as it relates to that particular race,” the lead Democrat said at a news conference when asked if he supports Wasserman Schultz’s run for the Fort Lauderdale-based seat.
