U.S. House of Representatives

2018 election

Mucarsel-Powell was elected to the United States House of Representatives in the 2018 Midterms, defeating moderate RINO Carlos Curbelo by less than 2% of the votes cast[3] after the latter pushed for liberal legislation,[4][5] opposing Donald Trump to the point of mentioning impeachment,[6] and refused support from the president. As Trump said following the defeat of many House Republicans then:[7]

...on the other hand, you had some that decided to 'let's stay away, let's stay away.' They did very poorly. I'm not sure that I should be happy or sad, but I feel just fine about it. Carlos Curbelo... Mike Coffman... too bad, Mike.

Tenure

Mucarsel-Powell backed and voted for the impeachment coup against Donald Trump, claiming that Trump "presents a clear and present danger to our democracy"[8] amidst calls then to investigate Hunter Biden over corrupt Burisma ties. It had been reported as early as July 2018[9] that Mucarsel-Powell's husband Robert took $700,000 from a Ukrainian oligarch accused of ordering contract killings.[10]
