Democrats in Florida are optimistic about their prospects following recent special elections, despite not winning since 2018. They believe strong performances in two Republican-held congressional races signal a potential shift back to swing state status. Democratic candidates Gay Valimont and Josh Weil showed significant gains, with Valimont halving the Republican majority and flipping Escambia County blue for the first time in over a decade. Meanwhile, Weil substantially narrowed the margin in his race, contributing to a newfound sense of Democratic hope amidst ongoing voter dissatisfaction with the current administration.
Democratic candidate Gay Valimont doubled her tally of votes from November and halved the Republican majority, flipping Escambia County blue for the first time in living memory.
A special election to replace Michael Waltz saw Josh Weil reduce a Republican margin of victory from 33% to just over 13%, signaling significant Democratic gains.
