Democrat Flips State Seat In Mar-a-lago District

The Washington Post report:

Democrat Emily Gregory won the special election to represent a Florida state House district that includes President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home on Tuesday, according to Associated Press projections, a stunning upset that signals Democratic momentum ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Gregory, a first-time candidate and fitness business owner, defeated Jon Maples, a Republican endorsed by Trump and aligned with his policies. Mike Caruso, the Republican who vacated the seat to become Palm Beach County clerk and comptroller, won the district by 19 percentage points in 2024.

“Tonight’s result sends a clear message that people want Florida to move in a new direction, one where leaders focus on lowering costs and standing up for working families,” Gregory said in a statement to The Washington Post.

Read the full article. Trump voted by mail for the loser. A second Florida seat was also flipped yesterday by a Democrat. There is much celebrating below.

MAR-A-LAGO IS IN PALMS BEACH COUNTY. THE MOST REPUBLICAN SPOT IN THE UNIVERSE.

TRUMP ENDORSED A REPUBLICAN, JON MAPLES, WHO REPRESENTED THAT REPUBLICAN OASIS.

AND HE STILL LOST!

DONALD TRUMP IS NOW REPRESENTED BY A DEMOCRAT.
