Democrats Raise $15M for Florida Elections

Democratic candidates in Florida's special elections for the 1st and 6th Congressional Districts have raised over $15 million collectively, significantly outpacing their Republican opponents. Despite this financial momentum, Gay Valimont and Josh Weil face tough battles in heavily Republican districts, with registered GOP voters significantly outnumbering Democrats. The Democratic National Committee has announced an investment aimed at increasing on-ground voter mobilization and protection efforts in these areas, providing additional organizing capacity and deploying over 200 poll watchers for the elections. Trump-endorsed candidates, Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine, present formidable opposition in districts where Trump previously won by substantial margins. The Democrats' efforts reflect a broader strategy to regain political ground amid a challenging partisan landscape.
