  • Democrats continued a trend of strong overperformance in off-cycle elections on Tuesday, making double-digit gains on the margin over their 2024 showing in both Florida congressional districts and statewide in Wisconsin.

Both elections highlighted the continued polarization and high engagement of the American electorate.
