Decision Desk HQ projects that Democrat Pia Dandiya will win Florida’s 22nd Congressional District, The Hill reports, citing DDHQ data showing her with more than 52 percent of the vote. The New York Times reports that Dandiya, a former high school principal, is set to become Florida’s first South Asian member of Congress. Townhall reports the seat was open with no incumbent running under Florida’s redrawn maps. Before the vote, NewsNation described the race against Republican Casey Askar as a toss-up in which Askar was narrowly favored.
