Dan Green clinches narrow GOP primary win in Florida's 9th District

Dan Green secured a slim victory in a crowded GOP primary featuring seven candidates for Florida's 9th Congressional District, according to a projection. He will now challenge Democratic Representative Darren Soto, who has held the central Florida seat since 2017. The district was recently redrawn in a map that favors Republicans and altered protections once provided by the Voting Rights Act. Analysts at the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics rate the general election as likely to favor Republicans. The outcome highlights the impact of the recent redistricting.
