In another Florida race of note, 25-year-old Maxwell Alejandro Frost won
the Democratic primary in Florida's 10th Congressional District. He is
set to become the first Afro-Cuban American and first member of
Generation Z to serve in Congress. Frost is the former national
organizing director for March for Our Lives, which was formed by
survivors of the Parkland shooting in Florida. Meanwhile, Val Demings
easily won the Democratic primary for Senate Tuesday. She will face
