Florida Democrats are increasingly optimistic as recent polls suggest a surge in momentum ahead of the presidential election.
Former President Donald Trump, who previously secured Florida in both 2016 and 2020, now faces a narrowing gap with President Joe Biden.
A poll from Florida Atlantic University (FAU) and Mainstreet Research shows Trump leading Biden by just four points, down from an eight-point lead in April.

GOP Senator Rick Scott also appears vulnerable, leading Democratic challenger Debbie Mucarsel-Powell by only two points according to the FAU poll.
This signals potential shifts beyond the presidential race, hinting at broader partisan realignments in Florida.
In response to the positive polling, Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried announced the party will contest every House and Senate district, marking a historic first in over 30 years.
Fried emphasized the momentum Democrats are gaining, contrasting it with the party’s state following the 2022 midterms.
