Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick Wins Special U.S. House Election in Florida
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Florida, Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-Mc Cormick has won a special
election to replace Congressmember Alcee Hastings, who died last year of
pancreatic cancer. Her win brings the House to a 222-to-212 Democratic
majority.

Meanwhile, Californians in the 22nd Congressional District will vote in
a special primary in April to select a replacement for Republican
Congressmember Devin Nunes, who resigned earlier this month to become
CEO of the Trump Media & Technology Group.
