Luna’s narrow Florida lead signals trouble for Republicans in safe seat
Anna Paulina Luna was narrowly leading Democrat Leela Gray in Florida’s 13th Congressional District on Wednesday morning, leaving her re-election contest too close to call. The result is a setback for the Trump-endorsed Republican, whose previous victories were much wider, and may signal difficulty for Republicans in a state once considered safely red.
According to the Associated Press figures cited in the article, Luna led by less than one percentage point at 9.30am Eastern time, compared with winning margins of eight points in 2022 and nearly 10 in 2024. She credited door-knocking and said Democrats had outspent her by millions. Elsewhere in Florida, Democrats Jared Moskowitz and Kathy Castor held their seats; nationally, Democrats need to gain at least three House seats and four Senate seats to control those chambers.
In short
- Luna’s Florida race remained extremely close.
- Her lead was under one percentage point.
- Two Democratic incumbents also held their Florida seats.
