""Mar-a-Lago's state House district just flipped from red to blue, which should have Republicans worried about their chances this November," said Heather Williams, chair of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee."
""A Trump +11 district in his own backyard shouldn't be in play for Democrats, but tonight proves Republicans are vulnerable everywhere," Williams added."
Emily Gregory won the Florida State House seat in the 87th District, defeating Republican Jon Maples. This district, which includes Trump's Mar-a-Lago, previously leaned Republican, with a significant margin of victory for the GOP in past elections. Gregory's victory by a narrow two percentage points indicates a shift in voter sentiment. Heather Williams from the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee expressed concern for Republicans, noting that a district strongly favoring Trump should not have been competitive for Democrats.
