Matt Gagnon discussed recent special elections in Florida and Wisconsin. In Florida’s 1st and 6th districts, Democrats faced steep odds in Republican-leaning areas, with the GOP winning by 14 points and 55-45%. Despite a financial advantage, the Democratic challenger in the 6th district lost. In Wisconsin, a Democrat won by 10 points, impacting the state’s Supreme Court balance. The conversation also touched on the Family Medical Leave Act in Maine, criticizing its broad definition of “significant personal bond” and potential negative effects on businesses.
