This used to be a battleground state but in recent years has become a fairly deep RED state that Trump won in 2016, 2020 and 2024. However, the Senate race here is currently labeled “purple” because there is a slim chance of Democrats taking this seat. That assessment could change between now and the election, so keep a watch on this!
Meanwhile, when it comes to House seats, Florida is very polarized. FL-9, FL-10, FL-14, FL-20, FL-22, FL-23, FL-24 and FL-25 are all considered reliably Democratic, while all other districts are considered reliably Republican. However, because of re-districting, at least six House seats may now be in play and are therefore considered “purple” for vote swapping purposes. These are FL-9, FL-10, FL-14, FL-22, FL-23 and FL-25.

Senate Races
This is a Purple Senate race! The Democrat has at least a fighting chance of replacing a MAGA Republican in this election.
Results of recent Senate races:
| year | Winner | Party | Winner votes | Runner-up | Runner-up votes | Margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | Marco Rubio | R | 4474847 | Val Demings | 3201522 | 1273325 |
| 2024 | Rick Scott | R | 5977706 | Debbie Mucarsel-Powell | 4603077 | 1374629 |
In Purple races, every vote for the Democrat matters! If you are uncomfortable voting for a Democrat or plan to vote for a third party, please consider swapping your vote with someone in a safe state where their vote for a Democrat will not change the outcome.
STRATEGIC VOTING RECOMMENDATION:
Vote Democrat to end MAGA control of the Senate and swap your vote with someone in a red or blue state if you want them to vote for a third party of your choice or deliver a “protest” vote on your behalf.
