Democrats flip two seats in state special elections

Democrats flip two seats in state special elections
BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY - 09/27/17 07:21 AM EDT

Democrats on Tuesday flipped two seats in special state elections in Florida and New Hampshire.

In Florida, Democrats Annette Taddeo won a Miami-area state Senate seat, The Daily Beast reported.

In New Hampshire, Democrat Kari Lerner won a special state House election in a district President Trump won by a significant margin.

Since Trump’s election, Democrats have flipped eight GOP-held seats at the state level, and Republicans have yet to flip a seat in 27 special elections.

We've had similar wins in other states. Let's hope this is the start of a wave!

When Democrats vote, Democrats win!
