Miami-Dade County Commissioner Oliver Gilbert has won the Democratic primary to succeed retiring Rep. Frederica Wilson in Florida's 24th Congressional District. This district, located in South Florida and part of Miami, remains predominantly Democratic despite recent redistricting by Florida Republicans. Wilson has served in Congress since 2011, initially representing the 17th Congressional District before redistricting led her to run in the 24th. Gilbert received Wilson's endorsement during the campaign. The primary featured seven candidates, and House Democratic leaders are expected to support Gilbert moving forward. The race was characterized by a lack of significant conflict between establishment Democrats and far-left candidates, which has been a trend in other races across the country.
