U.S. Rep. Dan Webster, R-Fla., is now facing a second conservative primary challenger in 2024.
Last year, Webster held off primary challenger Laura Loomer. Webster took 50.7 percent of the Republican primary, while Loomer pulled 44.5 percent. Gavriel Soriano took 4.8 percent in the primary.
Loomer refused to concede, insisting there was voter fraud which has not been proven. She has continued to campaign against Webster as she looks ahead to a rematch in next year’s primary.
But now Loomer has company against Webster. Former state Rep. Anthony Sabatiniannounced this week that he will run against Webster. Sabatini burst on the political scene when he won an open state House seat in 2018, quickly becoming one of the most outspoken conservatives in Tallahassee. One of the most prominent critics of COVID shutdowns, Sabatini was also the only Republican to vote against Gov. Ron DeSantis’ budget proposal in 2022, insisting it included too much spending.
