Mucarsel-Powell ousts GOP's Curbelo from Florida House seat
Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell defeated Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.) on Tuesday, delivering her party a key win and ousting one of the GOP's most vulnerable incumbents.
Her victory in Florida's 26th Congressional District is likely to be seen as a strong indicator of Democratic success on Election Day.
The district, which stretches from the Miami suburbs down to Key West, is the kind of area that Democrats are hoping to make gains in this year – diverse with a large number of suburban voters.
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton carried the district by 16 points in 2016, and election handicappers rated the race between the two-term congressman and Mucarsel-Powell as a "toss-up."
