Representative Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat from Michigan, was scheduled to headline a rally in South Florida supporting three progressive Democratic candidates. The event, titled "Chomp the Oligarchy," was set to take place at The Venue in Fort Lauderdale but was canceled a day prior due to "increased security concerns" as stated by the venue's management. The management indicated that they became aware of the "full scope" of the event and reviewed promotional materials before making the decision. State Representative Michael Gottlieb criticized the event, calling it "anti-Jew" and linking Tlaib to antisemitic allegations. Following the cancellation, rally organizers relocated the event to an alternate outdoor location, where approximately 300 supporters attended. During the rally, Larkin, one of the candidates, spoke about the backlash they faced, describing it as a campaign of intimidation. Tlaib attended the rally and introduced another candidate, Angie Nixon. Tlaib has faced criticism for her comments regarding Israel and has denied accusations of antisemitism.
