Wasserman Schultz lives in Florida\u2019s recently drawn 22nd District, which leans Republican. The 20th District is now the safest blue seat in the state.<\/p><p>The anger at Wasserman Schultz is palpable and doesn\u2019t seem to be going away anytime soon, but it may not matter: Polling in the race <span><u>has been limited<\/u><\/span>, but Wasserman Schultz is seen as the lead candidate in the race due to the rest of the field splitting the vote. The four Black Democratic candidates in the race initially planned to consolidate behind one person to defeat Wasserman Schultz.

criticized Wasserman Schultz\u2019s decision to run.<\/p><p>Luther \u201cUncle Luke\u201d Campbell, a rapper and Democratic congressional candidate, said that allowing Wasserman Schultz to represent the historically Black district would be \u201cthe greatest civil rights threat that\u2019s facing us today.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cIf we allow her to win, we will not win the general,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cThe world is watching congressional district 20, and don\u2019t you miss this opportunity.\u201d<\/p><p>The NAACP forum was convened after the Broward County Democratic Black Caucus <span><u>condemned<\/u><\/span> Wasserman Schultz for suggesting that the group was endorsing her in the race. Wasserman Schultz\u2019s campaign website listed the caucus in its endorsements page, then quietly deleted it after the caucus complained. The group accused Wasserman Schultz of \u201cdishonest intentions\u201d at the time, but Corey Shearer, the caucus\u2019 president, told NOTUS that Wasserman Schultz apologized for the incident and explained that the endorsements listed were from 2022.<\/p>\n<p>However, he said, that doesn\u2019t change his anger that she\u2019s running in a district that has long been represented by a Black representative.<\/p><p>\u201cThis is a historical seat for many of us,\u201d Shearer said. \u201cThere\u2019s no way, no how, that we want to give that legacy up. And so that\u2019s what Debbie Wasserman Schultz is forcing upon us.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cThe Black community should be able to celebrate that, and our celebration is just ripped away by this move from Debbie Wasserman Schultz, somebody who we looked at as an ally, but it just seems like she was more <i>familiar<\/i>, and she\u2019s using that familiarity to take an easy way out and look to take our seat,\u201d Shearer said.<\/p><p>The caucus held a debate for candidates in the race last Monday, but Wasserman Schultz also did not attend.<\/p><p>Wasserman Schultz\u2019s campaign did not respond to a list of questions from NOTUS. In a statement, a spokesperson said the \u201cCongresswoman was representing her constituents in DC for votes during both the events in question. Both organizations were informed of this conflict that prevented her from attending.\u201d<\/p><p>Some of the candidates challenging Wasserman Schultz also denounced the Congressional Black Caucus for not publicly speaking out against Wasserman Schultz.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur House is not in order because the Congressional Black Caucus \u2026 is not on our side,\u201d Campbell said at the NAACP forum. \u201cThey allowed a white woman to come in this district knowing that [Republicans] are trying to \u2026 gerrymand the vote and take Black representation that has been here for 30 years.\u201d<\/p><p>Former Broward County Mayor Dale Holness, a Democrat, concurred.<\/p><p>\u201cIt\u2019s very discouraging, disappointing that the Congressional Black Caucus has not sought to make statements and to stand and say, \u2018Look this is wrong,\u2019\u201d Holness said.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=1923\">As Training Camp Begins, Commanders Say They Are \u2018Happy\u2019 With Receivers<\/a><\/p><p>The CBC and its campaign arm declined to comment for this story. CBC Chair Yvette Clarke has said she did not encourage Wasserman Schultz to run in the district, despite Wasserman Schultz\u2019s <span><u>suggestions to the contrary<\/u><\/span>. The CBC PAC does not generally get involved in primaries with multiple Black candidates, though members have endorsed in races in an individual capacity.<\/p><p>Three members of the caucus <span><u>previously told NOTUS<\/u><\/span> they do not expect the CBC PAC to back the congresswoman in the race. One member at the time called Wasserman Schultz a \u201cfriend\u201d to the caucus, so the CBC would likely remain \u201cneutral.\u201d<\/p><p>But House Democrats aren\u2019t running to defend Wasserman Schultz either.<\/p>\n<p>House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, for example, has declined to endorse Wasserman Schultz in the race.<\/p><p>\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to getting involved in the August primaries, of which there\u2019ll be primaries on Aug. 4th; there will be primaries on Aug. 11th; and then the Florida primaries will be in Aug. 18th,\u201d Jeffries said last Thursday when asked if he\u2019d be endorsing Wasserman Schultz in the race. He called her a \u201chighly effective member of the U.S. Congress and a valuable member of both the leadership team and the House Democratic Caucus.\u201d<\/p><p>Outgoing Rep. <span><u>Frederica Wilson<\/u><\/span>, who refers to herself as the highest-ranking Black elected official in Florida and represents a neighboring district, recently wrote an <span><u>op-ed<\/u><\/span> calling the 20th District \u201ca seat paid for by generations of Black sacrifice.\u201d Wilson\u2019s piece does not name Wasserman Schultz.<\/p><p>\u201cIf Black lives matter, then the history of Black representation matters too,\u201d Wilson wrote. \u201cWe deserve a seat at every table where decisions about our lives, our children, our communities and our future are made. That seat was not given to us. It was earned through generations of Black sacrifice.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cIt is the seat that Black history built,\u201d Wilson continued. \u201cNow it is our responsibility to make sure history never has to build it again.\u201d<\/p><p>Wilson told NOTUS in mid-July that the op-ed was not meant to urge voters to <i>not<\/i> support Wasserman Schultz but to give context to voters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just wanted the district to know the historical nature of that district.\u201d She added that she had not spoken to Wasserman Schultz since she first announced her candidacy.<\/p><p>\u201cShe feels like she should be able to run where she wants to,\u201d Wilson said. But she added, \u201cIt took us 117 years to get that district, so I wanted them to be sure when they voted that they were willing to make that sacrifice and go back.\u201d<\/p><p>Rep. Ro Khanna (D-California) has weighed in on the race and formally endorsed activist Elijah Manley over Wasserman Schultz. Khanna called Manley \u201cbold and progressive\u201d and told NOTUS that his staff had reached out to Wasserman Schultz\u2019s team before the endorsement was announced.<\/p><p>\u201cAt a time where Black political rights are under attack, I find it wrong for a heavily Black majority district not to be represented by an African American who connects in that community,\u201d Khanna said.<\/p><p>While some candidates acknowledged it would easier to beat her if she was running against just one person, they\u2019re hoping the backlash over this race will be enough for her to lose the primary.<\/p><p>\u201cIf she gets back to Congress, if she somehow wins this race, she will be persona non grata,\u201d Manley told NOTUS in June. \u201cNobody is going to want to touch her because she will have proceeded in doing what the Republicans want: taking away not just Black representation, but pushing her own career at the expense of the public because this is all about Debbie.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=1921\">Former CHC Chair Nanette Barrag\u00e1n: Latino Trump Voters Have \u2018Buyer\u2019s Remorse\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If Wasserman Schultz wins the race to represent a historically Black district, it would be \u201cthe greatest civil rights threat that\u2019s facing us today,\u201d one Democratic candidate said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1928,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2026-election"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Debbie Wasserman Schultz\u2019s Run Is Infuriating Black Democrats.
