Trump-endorsed Mills loses primary in Florida amid House Ethics probe
- On Tuesday, Republican voters in Florida's 7th Congressional District rejected Rep. Cory Mills' reelection bid, as Decision Desk HQ projected former local news anchor Ryan Elijah as the winner.
- The defeat follows an ongoing House Ethics Committee investigation into allegations that Mills assaulted a woman and threatened to distribute nude images of a former girlfriend; Mills has denied any wrongdoing.
- Despite Mills campaigning on a Trump endorsement, President Donald Trump left him out of recent social media posts, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis stated last week, "I have not endorsed Cory Mills, and I do not support Cory Mills."
- Mills becomes the fourth congressman this year to lose a seat following accusations of misconduct against women, joining Rep. Chuck Edwards who ended his reelection campaign amid similar ethics concerns.
- Nominee Ryan Elijah now faces Democrat Bale Dalton in November's general election for the district, which President Donald Trump won by 12 percentage points in 2024.
