We have near-final results in the 2 Florida legislative special elections. Neither flipped, but quite the swings toward Dems.
—Democrats kept HD90, winning it by 28%.
(Harris won here by 11%.)
—The GOP kept SD11, winning it by 18%.
(Trump won here by 40%.)
Plus, Dems flipped the Miami mayorship.

And it’s a big one because Democrats have a big shot at flipping the mayor’s office in Miami.
And also they’re aiming for an upset flip in the state House in Georgia.
