Democrat Emily Gregory won a special election for Florida’s 87th state House district, flipping the seat from Republican control despite an endorsement from former President Donald Trump. The victory is part of a broader trend of Democratic gains in state legislative special elections during Trump’s second term, with the Florida 87th District being the 10th GOP-held seat flipped by Democrats nationwide since last year. Democrats attribute their success to economic concerns and shifting voter sentiment, while Republicans face challenges ahead of the midterms.
