One of the districts impacted was District 25, which longtime Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz currently represents. That district will be far more GOP-friendly under the new map, so Wasserman Schultz had a decision to make. Speculation had been swirling for weeks that Wasserman Schultz would switch districts and run for the open seat in District 20, the one formerly held by disgraced now-former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D). But that district is one of those majority minority ones, and several black Democrats who already declared their intentions to run for it openly warned the former Democrat National Committee Chairwoman off of it.
She didn't listen, and on Friday, she made it official that she intends to run in District 20 - complete with a framed poster of former President Barack Obama in the background, of course:

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is carpetbagging to FL-20, a black opportunity district instead of running in her own.

DWS is everything that’s wrong with the Democratic establishment. From insider trading to payday lenders.
I look forward to retiring her from public office... https://t.co/ODZmKXb4IK
