The 14th district was considered safely red. Right now, the Democrat in the 14th district is *narrowly* winning with 95% of the vote in.

All it took was *gestures at everything* for Florida to begin to turn back blue, starting with Mar A Lago land.

Don’t get too overhyped on this one. Trump won the district by 9pts in 2024 and Harris won the county by less than a point. While it’s always a great thing when a Dem flips any seat, federal, state, or otherwise, this doesn’t tell me a whole lot about the midterms.

DeSantis has called for a special legislative session from April 20–24, 2026, to redraw Florida’s congressional districts. If they actually go through with it and stretch those districts even thinner they’re just going to lose even more seats at this point.

Besides Florida GOP wondering what their base looks like, the ones who are really sweating these kind of results are the North Carolina GOP.
Their entire map at all levels is packed Dems and R+5 to R+9 structural districts. Florida is a much redder state for a bunch of reasons. If you can lose these…

A Democrat winning a Republican seat in Florida? Maybe, just maybe, we might be healing.
The GOP is going to lose the midterms massively.
What is everyone using to see through paywalls these days? Archive Today has been blocked by “government authorities”.
Hard to overstate what a surprising flip this is.

The win came in FL State Senate District 14.[That district has a population of ~557K, 80% of which is over the age of 18](https://censusreporter.org/profiles/61000US12014-state-senate-district-14-fl/) according to 2024 Census data.
The Democratic nominee won with a little over 40k votes. There were just north of 80k votes in total. For a district of 450k+ adults.
I really don’t get it.
51-49
trump won it by 11 points
Haha
