A Democrat is poised to represent President Donald Trump and his Mar-a-Lago residence in the Florida state House of Representatives after Republicans lost a special election in a surprise upset.
With nearly all the ballots counted, Democratic candidate Emily Gregory was projected to defeat her Republican opponent, Jon Maples, in a special election Tuesday with more than 51% of the vote, according to Decision Desk HQ. Maples trailed by less than a thousand votes at 48.8%, DDHQ reported.
