Debs has been scuttled off the coast of Florida.
Via The Hill:
The head of the Democrats’ campaign arm said Monday that the party has no plans to spend money to help embattled Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D) weather a tough primary challenge in her Florida district.
Rep. Ben Ray Luján (N.M.), head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), said the party would provide technical and logistical support as Wasserman Schultz squares off against primary challenger Tim Canova, a populist liberal in the mold of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
But, he quickly added, the DCCC will reserve its war chest to defend the most vulnerable Democrats and try to pick up seats currently held by Republicans — not to defend Democratic incumbents from primary challenges in blue districts.
“It’s a Democratic district, and typically our resources go — when you talk about financial resources and TV buys — those go to the most competitive races in America. … That’s the priority that we have as a committee,” Luján told reporters gathered in Philadelphia for the Democratic National Convention.
