Florida Democrat sends 'condolences' to Hasan Piker after defeating DSA challenger in Florida primary
Democratic Rep.
Jared Moskowitz took a victory lap on X Tuesday after he was declared the winner over a democratic socialist challenger in Florida's congressional primary, sending mocking "condolences" to Hasan Piker, a far-left streamer who backed Moskowitz's opponent.
Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)-backed Oliver Larkin lost to the more moderate Moskowitz in the Democratic primary in Florida's 25th District, The Associated Press reported.
The heavily redrawn congressional swing district is among roughly two dozen House seats that will likely determine whether Republicans hold on to their razor-thin majority in the midterm elections .
"My condolences to @hasanthehun," Moskowitz wrote on X.
PRO-ISRAEL MODERATE SURVIVES PRIMARY CHALLENGE BY SOCIALIST INSURGENT Piker responded to Moskowitz's callout on X and wrote, "its pretty wild that his first thought was a prominent critic of israel, before even thanking his constituents lmao. really worried about his genocidal emotional support apartheid state." Moskowitz thanked his constituents on Wednesday in another post to X.
"I want to thank the voters of District 25 for continuing to have the faith in me to deliver results for Florida," he wrote.
"I want to thank my wife and kids who I have spent a lot of time away from.
My dad died of cancer 4 years ago.
He would have enjoyed all of this.
I miss him.
Onward!" Moskowitz's campaign did not immediately return Fox News Digital's request for comment.
"Democrats shouldn’t play hide the Piker now," Moskowitz said after his victory, according to Politico Playbook .
"For all those people who thought it was a great idea to campaign with him, as Jay-Z once said, ‘Bring ’em out, bring ’em out.’ They shouldn’t be hiding him now." Piker hit back in a comment to Playbook and said, "I’m genuinely concerned for his mental well-being." "I think he should stop posting on the internet and focus on defeating the Republican in his newly redistricted congressional seat," Piker added, according to the outlet.
