Democrats flipped two Republican-leaning seats in Georgia and Miami, signaling momentum ahead of 2026.

Democrats won special elections in Georgia’s House District 121 and Miami’s mayoral race, flipping Republican-leaning seats in areas that backed Trump by double digits in 2024. Eric Gisler defeated Republican Mack Guest IV in Georgia, while Eileen Higgins became Miami’s first Democratic mayor in nearly 30 years, defeating Trump-backed Emilio Gonzalez. These victories, along with Democratic gains in state races across Florida, Georgia, and other states, signal growing momentum ahead of the 2026 midterms.
