Florida Democrats vow to contest every seat in 2026 after special election gains

Despite losing last week’s elections, Florida Democrats are pointing to what they describe as “historic” swings to the left following the special Congressional races. With tariffs continuing to disrupt the U.S. economy, many are asking whether this trend will persist through the upcoming midterms.

On Monday, stock markets once again saw red, as President Donald Trump reiterated his stance on tariffs, vowing to keep them in place and escalate penalties on China if the country fails to make concessions.

The ongoing volatility is raising concerns about a looming recession, while Republicans are urging patience, claiming the economic strategy will eventually pay off.

“I think everybody needs to actually let this play out a little bit,” said U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL 19th) in an interview last week.
