Republican Ron DeSantis loomed over Tuesday's primary contests as Florida Democrats selected a nominee whom they hope could put an end to his White House ambitions.
Demings, who was once on Joe Biden's short list for vice president, is joining forces with four other Senate Democratic candidates who are looking to flip seats currently held by the GOP.
Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney had come under intense fire from state Sen. Alessandra Biaggi as the two vied for a newly drawn New York district.Biaggi, who was endorsed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., blasted Maloney as out of touch, saying he cared more about expedient politics than core liberal values.
Rep. Jerry Nadler, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, defeated Carolyn Maloney, chairwoman of the House Oversight Committee, ending her three decades in Congress when her term expires in January. The liberal stalwarts, both elected in 1992, were put into the same district after a state court tossed out the Democratic-controlled New York Legislature's original maps.
