After years of unchecked Republican power, 2026 is a historic opportunity to build power in red states all across the country, including breaking the toxic GOP supermajorities in the Florida House and Senate. Â
Across both chambers, 11 Democratic flips will end the GOP supermajorities and give Florida Democrats more leverage to fight against the extreme Republican leadership in the state.Â
Florida’s GOP supermajorities have recklessly rubber-stamped Trump’s disastrous agenda, turned a blind eye to the insurance crisis, cut Medicaid access for seniors, and demolished economic opportunity for Floridians.
Florida Republicans are also planning to rig the congressional maps this spring, and breaking the supermajorities would weaken the GOP’s power ahead of 2030 redistricting.
The DLCC will be targeting competitive races across the state and sharing more info on DLCC Target Races in Florida soon.

One Year of Trump ResistanceIn the past year since Donald Trump was inaugurated as President, state Democrats have stepped up to create a blue wall of resistance against the Trump administration’s extremist policies. And it’s working. Facing the lowest approval rating of any elected president in his first term, Trump and his Republican legislators are desperate to claim victories that simply are unattainable in the toxic environment they have created in Washington.
