Democrats are projected to win a special election for a Florida legislative district that includes Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, marking another upset in the president's backyard.
Democrat Emily Gregory, a first time candidate defeated Trump-backed Republican Jon Maples in a race for the open Florida District 87 state House seat.
Trump carried this legislative district by about 11 percentage points in 2024, according to The Downballot, a political site that tracks special elections.
Democrats have performed well in special elections during Trump's second term, and Gregory's victory could indicate momentum for the party heading into this year's midterm elections.
Market data shows the amount of oil trade rose before the US President said he would postpone attacks on Iran's power plants.
