Democrats flipped a Florida State House seat Tuesday night that comfortably backed President Donald Trump in 2024 and also happens to include his Mar-a-Lago residence.
Democrat Emily Gregory beat Trump-endorsed Republican Jon Maples in the president’s home seat, which he carried by double digits during his successful reelection run. On the same night, Democrats appeared poised to flip a Tampa-based State Senate seat while Republicans held another State House seat in a more rural and conservative part of the state.
Sunshine State voters went to the polls for special elections in one state Senate and two state House districts, which became vacant due to a series of appointments by Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
