Democrat Emily Gregory narrowly won the special election for the district Tuesday night, The Associated Press projects. Trump carried the area in 2024.
Democrat Emily Gregory won a special election Tuesday for the Florida state House district that includes Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, flipping the seat from Republican control, The Associated Press projects.
Gregory beat Republican Jon Maples, whom Trump endorsed, in the race for a seat that has been vacant since August, when Mike Caruso resigned from the Legislature and was appointed Palm Beach County clerk.
Gregory had 51% of the vote to 49% for Maples with all precincts reporting.
Democrats have performed well in special elections during Trump’s second term, with the party pointing to those results as a sign of strength ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Florida’s 87th District is the 10th GOP-held state legislative seat Democrats have flipped around the country since Trump took office again last year. Republicans have not flipped any Democratic state legislative seats during that time.
Trump’s the kind of huy who will just walk in and kick over the entire domino run and brag about it though.
Which is why I will be so thrilled when he dies. The Nazi defies odds by possessing literally zero redeeming qualities. He’s every single fucking thing wrong with humanity rolled into one Frankenstein’s monster of amorality. He’s the closest thing you can ever get to showing a myth like the anti-Christ is based on a real phenomenon. Which is something I don’t necessarily understand, but it’s basically “if someone is the right kind of evil piece of shit, many people will think they’re God”.
