Democrats won a major victory on Tuesday in Florida, claiming another swing district in the massive purple state, The Miami Herald reported.

Javier Fernandez won Florida’s 114th District House seat by roughly 4 points — 51 to 47 percent — over his Republican opponent, Andrew Vargas. Independent candidate Liz de las Cuevas earned about 2.5 percent of the votes.
