I appreciate the polite follow up and clarification. And believe me, I'm beyond frustrated watching Florida go more right-wing every year.

I'm trying to potentially look at tonight as a positive with the closer margins in these bright-red Florida districts and the humiliation of Musk in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race. I'm hoping the Dem over-performance is a harbinger of good things to come in 2026.
