Obama Backs Debbie Wasserman Schultz for Florida Senate Seat: Unity Among Establishment Figures
Barack Obama Endorses Tim Canova in Florida House Primary
In a surprising move, former President Barack Obama has endorsed Tim Canova in the Florida House of Representatives primary election. This endorsement is significant as Obama rarely backs candidates in House primaries.
Canova is running against incumbent Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who is currently seeking re-election. The endorsement comes amidst growing criticism of Wasserman Schultz, with many Americans perceiving her as corrupt and indebted to Wall Street.
Canova has been a vocal critic of Wasserman Schultz, accusing her of being corrupt and siding with payday loan companies against Elizabeth Warren's oversight committee aimed at regulating predatory loan sharks. He has also accused her of allowing SuperPAC money back into the Democratic Party.
Wasserman Schultz has faced numerous allegations in the past, including changing rules to favor candidate Hillary Clinton in the 2016 primary and attempting to reduce the number of debates earlier in the race. She has been accused of being an establishment crony and dishonest by many Americans, including President Obama.
Canova, on the other hand, has received support from groups associated with Senator Bernie Sanders and endorsed Sanders himself. His progressive stance and Obama's endorsement could potentially shift the momentum of the election in his favor.
The endorsement from Obama could be a major blow to Wasserman Schultz's campaign, given his influence and popularity among progressives. It may be the strongest indication yet that Obama believes Wasserman Schultz must be replaced.
In the 2016 Florida Democratic primary, Canova challenged Wasserman Schultz but was not successful in unseating her. However, with Obama's endorsement, he may have a better chance this time around.
President Obama has not endorsed Wasserman Schultz in the general election, leaving her campaign's future uncertain. The primary election is set to take place on August 18, 2020.
