Republican candidates are projected to win two special elections in Florida on Tuesday, according to U.S. media organizations, boosting Republicans' slim majority in the U.S. House of Representatives by filling vacancies created by President Donald Trump's picks for cabinet posts.

The result dashes Democrats' hopes of pulling off a major upset in a district Donald Trump carried last November.

OCALA, Fla. (AP) — Tuesday’s special elections for two Florida congressional seats in heavily pro-Trump districts have become an unexpected source of concern for national Republicans as Democrats have poured millions in fundraising into the races.

Wisconsin voters on Tuesday delivered Democrats their biggest jolt since President Donald Trump returned to power, handing liberals a state Supreme Court majority and defying Elon Musk’s record-shattering effort to bolster a conservative Trump acolyte.

The race for control of the court, which became a proxy battle for the nation's political fights, broke records for spending and was poised to be the highest-turnout Wisconsin Supreme Court election ever.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Two special elections in Florida on Tuesday are expected to boost Republicans' slim 218-213 majority in the U.S. House of Representatives by filling vacancies created by President Donald Trump's picks for cabinet posts.

The elections were seen as an early measure of voter sentiment as Trump works with unprecedented speed to dramatically upend the federal government, clashing with the courts, and seeking revenge as he tests the bounds of presidential power.

Energized against the new Trump era, and against Elon Musk, Democrats pulled off a crucial judicial victory in Wisconsin and cut into Republican margins in two Florida congressional races.
