The blue wave rolled into Florida on Tuesday night as Democrat Margaret Good flipped Florida’s House Seat in a district that Trump carried by 5 points.

Here is the DLCC’s tweet congratulating Good on her win:

Good won by eight points in a district that Trump won by five points in 2016.

The blue wave is having an impact at the state level where policy gets made. For too long, Democrats let state legislatures slip into Republican hands. Not anymore. Democrats are challenging Republicans at every level of government.

Republicans are running scared because there is something happening in the country that hasn’t occurred since 2006. The left is engaged and ready for a midterm election, and they are fired up to take their country back from Trump, Ryan, and McConnell.
