General Discussion

Pieced together the info below from various sites. A significant shift toward the Dems in what have been deep red areas. With voting shifts as significant as these, it does not bode well at all for republicans in purple or barely red areas.

Valimont lost by 14.6 percentage points in a district Trump won by 37 points, and she even flipped one of the counties in that district from red to blue, carrying that county by 3 percentage points -- a county Gaetz (who vacated the seat when Trump announced he'd nominate him for Attorney General) carried in the 2024 election by 14 percentage points.

Weil lost by 14 percentage points in a district Trump won by 30 percentage points and Waltz (the republican who vacated the seat to become national security advisor) won by 33 percentage points.
