Democrats flip two seats in state special electionsBY 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 Trumps 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!
