Gen Z candidate will win Democratic nomination in Florida's 10th District, CNN projects
(CNN) Maxwell Frost, a 25-year-old community organizer, will win the Democratic nomination in Florida's 10th Congressional District, CNN projects, and could become the first member of Generation Z elected to Congress.
He bested a crowded field of candidates looking to replace Democratic Rep. Val Demings in an Orlando-based district, including state Sen. Randolph Bracy, former US Rep. Corrine Brown -- who recently settled a federal corruption case after winning a new trial and serving more than two years in prison -- and former US Rep. Alan Grayson.
Demings is vacating the seat for a Senate run, and she clinched the Democratic nomination Tuesday to face GOP Sen. Marco Rubio in November. Frost's victory Tuesday makes him the favorite in November for the deep-blue seat that Joe Biden would have carried by 32 points in 2020.
