All eyes were on Rep. Mills as the incumbent congressman faced scrutiny for several controversies; Johnson, however, stole the show. New Smyrna Beach – Tensions were high throughout the highly anticipated congressional debate among Republican primary candidates in Florida’s 7th District (FL CD 7) as incumbent Congressman Cory Mills (R-Fla.) faced off against former Orlando Matters host Ryan Elijah, business leader Sarah Ulrich, and veteran Michael Don Johnson. Throughout the debate, candidates took the opportunity to discuss several issues, including election integrity, affordability, foreign policy, military action, and President Donald Trump’s policy initiatives. Johnson, however, stole the show as he blatantly attacked Congressman Mills over "Boogie Woogie" concerns, for allegedly converting to Islam, and for accusing the Representative of being a false Republican and a false Trump supporter. Johnson argued that Republicans could figure it out on their own, while Congressman Mills – who has been in congress since 2022 – argued that working with Democrats is not feasible.
