Where Democrats' confidence in Florida's special election comes from

The Florida Democratic Party is in its worst spot in modern history after years of defeats. Yet, the state’s Democratic Party still has fundraising success in special elections in deep red districts.

Republicans are growing worried about two special elections on April 1 to replace national security adviser Mike Waltz in Florida’s Sixth Congressional District and former Rep. Matt Gaetz in Florida’s First Congressional District. Despite Waltz and Gaetz winning their seats by wide margins, Democrats are now within striking distance. The race in FL-6 is especially concerning for the GOP.
