So, the “mob” of anti-Castro Republicans that showed up at the Nancy Pelosi-Donna Shalala campaign event to protest Fidel Castro-apologist Rep. Barbara Lee (who didn’t even show) seems to actually have exposed the weakness of Shalala’s candidacy.
The NRCC just pulled money from Rep. Mike Coffman in the CO-06 and is sending it to the FL-27 in support of Maria Elvira Salazar:
NRCC bailing on Rep. Mike Coffman, investing $2m in FL-27, where Maria Elvira Salazar is running surprisingly close to ex-HHS Sec. Donna Shalala.

Now we know there’s a lot of focus nationally on the “mob,” but down in Miami the story is how badly Shalala and the Dems bungled the whole thing:

And Shalala won’t even return the cash from pro-Castro Rep. Lee:

She just doesn’t understand her district:
As her underperforming campaign continues to struggle, it’s become crystal clear that Donna Shalala just doesn’t understand the Miami community and #FL27 families. https://t.co/eI3ImTQ9ak pic.twitter.com/OeVsi13lzS
