Florida Republicans Maintain Legislative Supermajority Amid Statewide Red Wave
Despite concentrated efforts, Democrats failed to gain ground in Florida's legislature as voter turnout favored Republicans.
- Florida Republicans retained their supermajority in both the state House and Senate, with Democrats unable to flip any targeted seats.
- Central Florida saw the only GOP loss with Carolina Amesty, who faced legal issues, being narrowly defeated by Democrat Leonard Spencer.
- The Republican voter turnout was significantly higher than that of Democrats, contributing to the GOP's strong showing across the state.
- Orange County remained a Democratic stronghold, rejecting both Donald Trump and local development interests, while surrounding areas leaned Republican.
- Gerrymandering helped Republicans maintain control, as district boundaries favored GOP candidates in closely contested races.
