"The Miami-area U.S. House district Republican Rep. Carlos Curbelo represents routinely floods as sea levels surge through the porous limestone bedrock on which the sprawling city, considered one of the world’s most vulnerable to climate change, was built.

But the biggest threat now facing the two-term congressman is the so-called blue wave.

On Tuesday, Curbelo easily trounced Souraya Faas, his right-wing challenger in Florida’s Republican primary who trafficked in conspiracy theories including QAnon and the idea that the Syrian regime’s chemical attacks were staged. The Associated Press called the victory less than an hour after polls closed in the 26th Congressional District."
