Florida Democrats

David Jolly, a former Republican now running for Florida governor as a Democrat, is trying to revive the state's political battleground status.

As progressives rack up victories in other parts of the country against moderate Democrats, Florida’s Aug. 18 primary could prove a big test for that movement.

Florida’s 23rd congressional district was the most competitive in the state in 2024. It's also one of the most affected by the proposed redistricting maps released by Florida governor Ron DeSantis.

With his new congressional maps heavily favoring Republicans, Gov. Ron DeSantis is unilaterally declaring unconstitutional the 2010 "Fair Districts" amendment that state voters overwhelmingly approved, say statewide and national Democrats, along with the Miami attorney who got the amendment on the ballot.

The House Majority PAC announced an injection of $20 million into Florida’s congressional races this fall, targeting a handful of GOP-controlled seats ahead of the midterm elections. The news was first reported by the Miami Herald.
