Florida Judge Who Blocked Trump Library Suffers Election Defeat

President Donald Trump has spent much of his second term battling woke judges across federal and state jurisdictions nationwide.

While Trump has lost his share of legal battles, he’s also won a fair number of them and, in at least one instance this past week, got to witness some karma as well.

A 30-year-old attorney has narrowly defeated a longtime incumbent judge in a closely watched judicial race that drew heightened attention because of the judge’s controversial ruling involving Trump’s presidential library.

Destiny Alvarez, a Coral Gables attorney who has practiced law for five years, secured enough support to avoid a runoff and unseat Miami-Dade Judge Mavel Ruiz, 65, who has spent more than a decade on the bench.

Unofficial election results showed Alvarez receiving 50.51% of the vote compared with 49.49% for Ruiz, a margin of just over one percentage point.
