Dems take aim at 'super-MAGA' Republican whose 'main demographic is older white men'

Democrats are looking to take down a Donald Trump loyalist as part of a nationwide effort targeting right-wing MAGA conservatives. Welcome PAC is backing select swing-district Democrats – including Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Jared Golden and Mary Peltola – and endorsing challenger Whitney Fox against GOP incumbent Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, reported NOTUS. “ chief characteristic is not her substantive understanding of policy, it’s her fealty to Donald Trump, and that’s what they’re looking for.” Democrats believe Florida may be back in play due to voter concerns about property insurance and abortion, but Luna has significantly outraised Fox at $2.3 million to $845,000, and Republicans have a 10-point registration advantage in Florida’s 13th District, which Trump won by 7 points in 2020. “With Welcome PAC’s support, we’re building a coalition of problem-solvers, not polarizers.” Luna, a first-term Republican with a questionable background, has floated conspiracy theories, called for the arrest of attorney general Merrick Garland, and recently went viral for posing years ago in a MAGA swimsuit, flipped a district that's much white, older, and wealthier than most of Florida after Rep Charlie Crist declined to run for re-election to launch an ultimately unsuccessful gubernatorial bid. “I think her main demographic is older white men,” said one Republican political consultant who compared her to Rep. Lauren Boebert.
