Democrat flips Florida state House seat in district that includes Mar-a-Lago, defeating Trump-backed GOP rival

March 24, 2026 / 8:39 PM EDT / CBS/AP

Democrat Emily Gregory won a special election for a Florida state House seat on Tuesday, The Associated Press has projected, flipping a district that is home to President Trump's estate, Mar-a-Lago.

The Republican president endorsed Gregory's rival, Jon Maples. In a Truth Social post Monday, he urged voters to turn out, saying Maples was endorsed "by so many of my Palm Beach County friends."
