What every side reports

Debbie Wasserman Schultz won the Democratic primary in Florida's 20th Congressional District.

Where the framing diverges

The left-leaning outlet frames the race around racial dynamics, noting that Wasserman Schultz defeated several Black candidates who criticized her decision to run in the district. The right-leaning outlet instead highlights that one of her opponents, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, was under indictment, framing the win in terms of that legal issue rather than racial or district-representation concerns.
