Young Conservatives Loomer and Paulina Luna Decisively Win Primaries In Florida Ben Wilson Aug 19, 2020
Despite crowded primary races for both, young conservatives Laura Loomer and Anna Paulina Luna won their primaries in the Sunshine State. Both won decisively — Loomer got 42 percent of the vote in a five-person race, in a district that includes President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago. Luna won 36 percent against four other Republicans.
Loomer has been a controversial activist and candidate — she is banned from CPAC, GoFundMe, Venmo, MGM Resorts, PayPal, Lyft, Uber and Uber Eats. She is banned from most social media sites and yet the 27-year-old won her race handily. The Palm Beach district is heavily Democratic, however, so her November odds appear slim.
Loomer was seemingly banned from Comcast right before her election, not allowing her to send texts or emails. The company alleges it wasn’t the content she was sending, but the third-party apps she used, according to the Palm Beach Post.
Paulina Luna is an Air Force veteran who will face Charlie Crist in November. She beat all the other Republicans, including Amanda Makki, who was a former aide to Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Ala.).
