美联社预测，民主党人艾米丽·格雷戈里(Emily Gregory)在周二举行的佛罗里达州众议院特别选举中获胜，拿下了特朗普总统庄园海湖庄园所在的选区。
共和党总统特朗普曾为格雷戈里的对手乔恩·梅普尔斯(Jon Maples)背书。他在周一的Truth Social帖子中呼吁选民前往投票站，称梅普尔斯得到“我在棕榈滩县的许多朋友的支持”。
公共记录显示，特朗普在此次选举中通过邮寄投票，而这种投票方式他曾多次猛烈抨击，就在周一还称其为“邮寄作弊”。
计票接近完成时，格雷戈里以2.4个百分点（即797票）的优势领先。
2024年，共和党人迈克·卡鲁索(Mike Caruso)以19个百分点的优势赢得该选区，但他已辞职担任棕榈滩县书记员。
民主党人将这次胜利视为选民反对特朗普和共和党的最新迹象。
民主党立法竞选委员会主席希瑟·威廉姆斯(Heather Williams)表示：“海湖庄园所在的选区刚刚从红变蓝，这应该会让共和党人在中期选举中感到紧张。”她说，这是特朗普上任以来民主党人从共和党手中拿下的第29个州立法选区。
“汽油价格飙升，食品成本上涨，家庭难以维持生计——很明显，投票站的选民已经受够了共和党人，”威廉姆斯说。
民主党立法竞选委员会去年表示，计划投入数百万美元用于拿下州立法席位，称2026年中期选举对民主党有利。但该党仍有大量工作要做：根据美国全国州议会会议的数据，过去15年里民主党已失去约800个州立法席位。

Democrat flips Florida state House seat in district that includes Mar-a-Lago, defeating Trump-backed GOP rival
March 24, 2026 / 8:39 PM EDT / CBS/AP
Democrat Emily Gregory won a special election for a Florida state House seat on Tuesday, The Associated Press has projected, flipping a district that is home to President Trump’s estate, Mar-a-Lago.
The Republican president endorsed Gregory’s rival, Jon Maples. In a Truth Social post Monday, he urged voters to turn out, saying Maples was endorsed “by so many of my Palm Beach County friends.”
Mr. Trump voted by mail in the election, according to public records, a method of voting he has frequently railed against, referring to it as “mail-in cheating” as recently as Monday.
With almost all votes counted, Gregory led by 2.4 percentage points, or 797 votes.
Republican Mike Caruso, who resigned from the seat to become Palm Beach County’s clerk, won the district by 19 percentage points in 2024.
Democrats cast the victory as the latest sign voters are turning against Mr. Trump and the GOP.
“Mar-a-Lago just flipped red to blue, which should have Republicans sweating the midterms,” said Heather Williams, president of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee. She said it is the 29th district that Democrats have flipped from GOP control since Mr. Trump took office.

“Gas prices are spiking, grocery costs are up, and families can’t get by — it’s clear voters at the polls are fed up with Republicans,” Williams said.
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee said last year it was aiming to spend millions of dollars on flipping state legislative seats, pointing to a favorable political landscape for Democrats in the 2026 midterms. The party has a lot of ground to make up: It has lost around 800 state legislative seats over the last 15 years,according to data fromthe National Conference of State Legislatures.
