What to know

  • Trump's Iran military action and resulting high gas prices are eroding Republican electoral strength in Florida, a state traditionally crucial to GOP midterm control.
  • Hispanic voters are turning away from Republicans over immigration enforcement, and affordability concerns are broad-based among Florida voters.
  • GOP operatives in Florida describe the situation using crisis language ('hemorrhaging'), indicating alarm about 2026 prospects.

“The same forces undercutting the GOP in other states — including Trump's war in Iran and ensuing high gas prices, Hispanic voters turned off by his immigration surges and stubborn concerns over affordability — are hitting Floridians”
