Recent endorsements from Florida Republican lawmakers Greg Steube and Kat Cammack have boosted Catalina Lauf’s position in the crowded August 18 primary for the open FL-19 seat, while internal polling shows her narrowly ahead of local businessman Jim Schwartzel amid roughly 36 percent undecided voters. Multiple self-funded candidates, including Jim Oberweis, have poured millions into advertising and loans without consolidating support, and candidate forums on immigration, spending, and infrastructure have yet to produce clear separation. Trader consensus reflects this late-stage uncertainty in a ten-candidate field where turnout and final-week messaging could still shift the outcome.
