Democrat Emily Gregory has flipped a Republican-held Florida state House district that includes President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. Gregory narrowly defeated Trump-endorsed Republican Jon Maples in a special election, marking the tenth GOP-held state legislative seat Democrats have flipped nationally since Trump took office. This victory on Trump's home turf is seen by Democrats as a significant sign of strength.
