Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) was projected to defeat Republican Brent Andersen in the race for Florida's 20th Congressional District, according to a report from The Hill. The outlet said the projection came from Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ). A projection is an estimate that a news organization or data service issues before the count is complete, and The Hill's account presented the result in those terms.

The Hill reported that Wasserman Schultz led Andersen by 60 percentage points, 78 percent to 18 percent, with 69 percent of the votes counted. The report was written by Sudiksha Kochi. The summary of that report does not include a final tally or any figures from later counts.

PBS NewsHour, in a report credited to the Associated Press, said Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz "won election" to the U.S. House of Representatives for the 20th District, defeating Andersen. The PBS NewsHour headline described the outcome as a reelection.

The two accounts differ in wording. The Hill described a projection made while 69 percent of the votes were counted, while PBS NewsHour, citing the Associated Press, described Wasserman Schultz as having won. Neither summary states how many votes had been counted when the Associated Press report was prepared, so the available reporting does not show whether that account reflected final results.

Neither The Hill nor PBS NewsHour, in the summaries reviewed for this story, gives final vote totals for the district. Both reports identify the contest as the race for Florida's 20th Congressional District, and the summaries name only Wasserman Schultz and Andersen. Official totals are not included in the material reviewed here, so the outcome as reported rests on the projection and the Associated Press account.
