Rep. Cory Mills Wins Florida Primary Despite Ethics Probe, DeSantis Opposition

Republican Rep. Cory Mills won his primary in Florida's 7th Congressional District on August 18, 2026, defeating three challengers while under an active House Ethics Committee investigation into alleged assault and campaign finance violations. Gov. Ron DeSantis said, "I have not endorsed Cory Mills and I do not support Cory Mills." Trump endorsed Mills in February but omitted him from recent endorsements. Mills has denied wrongdoing.
