2020 U.S. House election in Florida's 15th district
Franklin, who had previously supported Rep. Spano in the 2018 Midterms, stated in April 2020 that his run against the incumbent Republican was due to the latter's campaign finance violations.[2] Having received the endorsement of Rep. Matt Gaetz,[3] he won the primary in an upset with just over 50% of the votes cast[1] despite GOP establishment figures including Kevin McCarthy, Marco Rubio, Mario Diaz-Balart, and Liz Cheney backing Spano.[4] Franklin will now face Democrat Alan Cohn in the general election,[5] who received the backing of the DCCC.[6]
A poll in mid-September 2020 conducted for the general election found that Franklin was leading Cohn by seven points.[7] Politico, the Cook Political Report, and RealClearPolitics rate the House seat as "lean Republican".[8][9][10]
In May 2022, Franklin turned to be establishment tool and vote for passing $40 billion to Ukraine war.[11]
