‘I’m not conceding’: Tearful Trump-backed candidate blames ‘big tech’ after losing GOP congressional primary

Raw Story  

In Florida’s 11th Congressional District, Representative Daniel Webster survived an aggressive GOP primary challenge from far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, defeating her by about 7 percent. roar-assets-auto.rbl.ms Loomer slammed the incumbent Daniel Webster as a “RINO Republican” and "do-nothing Daniel Webster” during her speech. In 2020, she successfully won the GOP nomination in Florida’s 21st Congressional District — more Democrat-friendly than Webster’s district — but lost to incumbent Democratic Rep. Lois Frankel by 20 percent. Florida’s 11th Congressional District, which includes the adult retirement community known as The Villages, tends to favor Republican candidates.
