Florida Democrats SCORE BIG WIN With HISTORIC Midterm Gains!

Florida went red statewide, but look at what happened underneath. Democrats broke the Republican supermajority in the state House, winning 49 seats in unofficial results, the party’s strongest showing since 1996. Florida elected a record seven LGBTQ+ legislators, Tiffany Moore Russell became the first Black woman elected Orange County mayor, and Quinnie Perez became the state’s first openly transgender elected official. Resident Legal Diva Melba Pearson breaks down the wins, the losses, Byron Donalds’s gubernatorial race, plus the redrawn congressional map that was supposed to flip seats but left the delegation at 20 Republicans and 8 Democrats.
