Anyone here from FL Congressional District 26?

Rep Carlos Jimenez was just on NPR discussing Biden's border immigration status, quoting "border patrol", blaming Biden for everything Jimenez claims is bad.

I noticed this district supported trump after voting for Obama and Hillary and that it tends to flip back and forth at the Congressional level.

Does anyone have any insight into why the voters flipped between parties? Is there any chance of winning this seat in 2022?

Cuban-Americans swung to the right this past election. The Democratic brand is seriously downgraded among Cuban-Americans when self-identified socialists become prominent in the party. And talk of defending the police certainly didn't help (even though Biden belatedly opposed it).
