FL-HD87: "The Last Word" Spotlights Mar-a-Lago Flip Opportunity as Democrat Emily Gregory Builds Momentum

WASHINGTON — Democrats could flip Mar-a-Lago blue tomorrow in a must-watch special election in Florida’s 87th House District. Though Trump won the district by 11 points, the district is “primed to be flipped blue” and “threatens a brutal wake-up call for Trump.” DLCC Target Race candidate Emily Gregory is a first-time candidate, small business owner, and mother of three who has centered her campaign on affordability and housing.

Emily recently joined Ali Velshi on MS NOW’s “The Last Word” to discuss what she’s hearing from voters amid soaring living costs and MAGA extremism in the legislature. Democrats have now flipped 28 state legislative seats since Trump’s election, and breaking Florida’s supermajorities is on the DLCC’s expansive target map this November.
