South Florida's 22nd Congressional District Race Now Rated Toss-Up
The race for South Florida's newly drawn 22nd Congressional District between Republican Casey Askar and Democrat Pia Dandiya has shifted from a likely Republican win to one of fewer than two dozen national toss-ups, according to leading nonpartisan forecasters. The district spans western Broward, Palm Beach, Collier, and Hendry counties, with Trump having won the territory by 10.5 percentage points in 2024. Millions in super PAC spending have poured into the contest, including at least $9 million from a Trump-associated group opposing Dandiya. The open-seat district was created through redistricting signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis in May.
