Joe Kaufman is running in Florida’s new 25th district and faces Moskowitz or Wasserman Schultz. Kaufman previously contested Florida’s 23rd and lost narrowly, and Fox News notes his national-security focus and ties to his “terrorist hunter” label. Fox News also mentions that Moskowitz’s next district is unclear, while Singer’s fundraising success in another Florida race is cited by Fox News as part of a broader GOP optimism.

Disagreements: the figures on fundraising hoards and the definitive opponent are not uniform across articles, and some sources emphasize different players in play.
