Heartache.

Via Roll Call:

House Democratic campaign chief Ben Ray Luján confirmed Monday that providing funding for outgoing Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz in her looming Florida primary won’t be a priority.

“The question I was asked is: Does the [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee] get involved in primaries or in races with incumbents?” said Lujan, a New Mexico congressman. “And what we shared with Debbie … is that priority for the DCCC is always incumbent protection, but that where the resources go when it comes to TV buys and helping in that specific way, [they go to] the most competitive seats around the country — so typically the front line districts and red-to-blue districts and emerging districts.”

Wasserman Schultz’s 23rd District seat is rated a safe Democratic seat by The Rothenberg/Gonzales Political Report /Roll Call. She faces a primary challenge in August from Tim Canova , a progressive Democrat backed by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
