Glimmer of hope: Two Dems cruise to Fla state legislature wins

Florida Democrats have increased the party's share of the vote in two state special election victories.

On Tuesday night, RaShon Young and LaVon Bracy Davis won their elections for Florida's House of Representatives and Senate, respectively.

Young, a legislative staffer and former NASA engineer, won with 75 percent of the vote in House District 40. This is 8 percent more than the 67 percent Harris got there in 2024.

Meanwhile, Bracy Davis, who previously represented House District 40 in the state legislature, won Senate District 15 with 73 percent of the vote. Sixty-one percent of voters went for Harris there in November.
