GOP's Singer 'very prepared' to oust Dem Moskowitz in toss-up Florida race that could determine House majority
Rep.
Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., a self-described moderate, is facing political headwinds in the race for the newly-redrawn 25th Congressional District in South Florida, as Republican nominee Scott Singer sees a path to pick up a House seat in a narrowly divided Congress.
"We're going to be very prepared to go flip this seat – it is a key targeted seat," Singer told Fox News Digital in an interview Monday.
"This is a key district that may determine the balance of power in the House ."

"A lot of people in this district and beyond understand what's at stake here," Singer, former Boca Raton mayor, said.
Moskowitz, currently seated in the more Democratic-friendly 23rd District, is – like Singer – Jewish and pro-Israel, but he will have to navigate a tougher Republican-friendly map and fend off the " anti-Israel wing " of the Democratic Party, according to to Singer.

"Since he's gotten to Congress, he's been locked up with the Democrats on almost every issue." "This is not the sort of record of bipartisanship he once had.
He's been much more partisan because he has to be," Singer claimed.
"He has to appeal to a more far-left socialist led Democratic Party if he's going to have any influence.
And that's going home to roost in November." When reached for comment, the two-term Moskowitz stressed he fought of the Democratic Socialists of America's maximum pressure campaign in his primary, while keeping $2 million cash on hand for the general election and expecting "we'll have the national resources" in the fight to keep the seat blue.
"I go after my party all the time and fight within," Moskowitz, who was twice appointed to positions by Republican Florida Gov.
Ron DeSantis in a show of bipartisanship, told Fox News Digital, noting Singer has been "awfully silent" on social media amid his own vocal defense against the "anti-Israel" political factions.
