Wasserman-Schultz facing well-funded challenger

The Florida professor challenging Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz for her congressional seat posted a strong first fundraising quarter, raising $550,000.

Tim Canova's haul came from 15,295 donnations averaging less than $20, according to figures released Monday morning by the campaign.

...The DNC chairwoman has faced criticism about the party’s decisions in the presidential race, and Bernie Sanders supporters have accused the party of picking Hillary Clinton as its favorite.

Canova has endorsed Sanders and is trying to run with a similar populist streak as the Vermont senator. And Canova also has the backing of the National Nurses United super-PAC, the group that has already spent more than $1 million to help Sanders.

He'd look around and just reach in and grab one. 'Come here...come here'.

He'd grab her by the hair. You can't do that today, fellas, cause
it might come off. You'd have a piece of hair in your hand and she'd
be swimming away from you (ha-ha)."
