Democrat candidate Emily Gregory defeated Republican Jon Maples in a special election in a district that includes Mar-a-Lago. The election was triggered after former Rep. Mike Caruso left office to become Palm Beach County Clerk. Despite the loss, Republicans still hold a dominant majority in the Florida House, holding 84 seats compared to the Democrats' 34. The Democratic National Committee quickly moved to fundraise off the win, calling it a "humiliating defeat" for President Trump.
