👏👏👏 Let’s give Josh Weil & Gay Valimont a huge round of applause for running stellar races and tightening the fuck out of the Florida margins, sending Trump and the GOP a huge warning sign!

The people are not happy.

They didn’t win

Thank you both! Please run again when the Republican yes men fail @gayforcongress.bsky.social @joshweil.bsky.social

Yet if every D voter from Nov 24 had shown up then both Dems would have won!

Special elections should have a whole lot of get out the vote effort so the Ds win.

Stupid, ignorant Florida voters!

They breathe polluted air and drink polluted water, polluted by maga, that is. As such they cant think straight

Bravo my friends…you are heroes…

💯💯💯👏👏👏👏👏💙💙💙💙

Congrats. It's not the outcome we wanted but closing the gap is a huge accomplishment.
reply
Yes. I live in FL District 1, which covers 4 counties. Even though the Democrat didn't win, she won Escambia County, the largest county, by 3 points. A democrat has not won in Escambia County in over 30 years. This is an earthquake for Republicans.

Good

Awesome job!

Florida constantly disappoints. I was really really hoping for at least one win. 😔
reply
I feel so bad for normal people living in Florida.
reply
We'll dust off and continue the fight. Thank you for sharing your concerns 🙏
reply
The rest of the world is saying it about ALL of us here in the US...

We're getting a taste of that condescending pity we used to give others.

And boy, do we deserve it.
reply
Agreed
reply
This FL and American is disappointed. NO ONE should be voting for any current republican. We needed them in for change.

I wanted them to win so badly, but as an ex-Flordian, I know just how hard and long it will be to wrestle FloriDuh from the MAGAts.
reply
It’ll probably take the next hurricane without government handout FEMA to let it sink in. The tide is turning.
reply
Indeed. They are brave warriors for democracy.
reply
Absolutely! They cut Trump’s margin in half. Just since November. Great start
reply
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
reply
Well done!
reply
I wish they would ask for a paper count just to see how close it really was. I am not sure what the rules are to ask for one
reply
Of course Trump and Musk cannot read, so there is that.
reply
Yea, but losing doesn’t count.
reply
As a Floridian, I'm truly proud of them both and their staff for a solid effort.

They made a real impact - Thank you!
reply
I have a sense that it’s not the last we see of them. The candidates they were going against were horrible by any standards; Floridians are still standing by Trump. Let’s see what happens should we survive to 2026.
reply
Yes absolutely 💯 and well done guys!!!
💙💙💙👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
reply
Great job, both of you!
reply
You both fought the good fight! Florida just made a error in judgement.
reply
I hope they are willing to run again - I appreciate it’s a huge sacrifice ❤️
reply
Appreciate you both for “STANDING IN” on all of our behalf. Well done!!
reply
Hope they run again.. the people made a statement!! Can we say “woke is the American People” 🤣🤙🏽🤙🏽
reply
👏👏👏👍💙
reply
I suspect MAGA in these districts haven’t been sufficiently fucked by Trump’s policies yet. These swings were big but they can be much bigger. They might never admit their mistake but they might stay home.
reply
Thanks to you both!
reply
Congratulations to Gay Valimont and Josh Weil for running a well-fought race. They represent the smart, compassionate Floridians; and then there are the other ones who voted for the repussican fascists. They can ROT in . . .
reply
But majority still stupid & vote against self interest
reply
Also recognized in german news. Also Florida is no longer reliable for all of his actions.
reply
Thanks Gay and Josh for running! You did amazingly well AND showed other Dems that victory is within reach.
reply
Congratulations Weil and Valimont👏
reply
👏👏👏
reply
I agree - they made a great impression & road into Red Country - AND did us proud. Still can't believe that when people see the damage Trumper is doing to USA - the people of Florida still vote for him. Shaking my head is disgust!!!
reply
🥲👏👏👏👏👏
reply
Thank you both.
reply
Thank you for saying this, so many are so quick to just ignore the efforts these 2 candidates made!
reply
They were terrific. Narrowed the gap and that’s a win.
reply
They gave💯.
reply
Y’all did great! The points you shaved off of your opponents are impressive! Thank you😊
reply
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Congratulations on a great effort. Florida still doesn’t understand the assignment. But they will. And Soon.
reply
Sadly, they weren't unhappy enough Morgan. 😷🤡
reply
Absolutely, what an amazing race they ran and those numbers are consequential, even if they were not the long shot, but hopeful out come. You both made a huge turnaround impact in solid red areas. Thank you for all you have done!
reply
Good job, you two. The majority of Floriduh voters just aren’t ready to give up on stupid….. yet
reply
This was a VERY good night for us - WI, FL, and Booker!

Now for Saturday's rallies and waiting to see how much tension develops now that VP Trump sees what a LOOOSER his President is ...
reply
If DEMS don’t even in FL, it won’t change anything!!! DEM leaders must commit to make FL a priority.
reply
I hope you all are gonna boycott Florida vacations and Florida products. Florida has fucked us all.
reply
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
reply
Absolutely! It’s Florida — bravo and brava!
reply
This isn’t my district but absolutely agree as a Floridian.
reply
Yes they fucking did!!! I hope they both run again! 💙
reply
Absolutely!!! Great candidates great fighters for democracy. 2026 is right around the corner.
reply
I wrote postcards for you Josh!!! Keep staying in the game. We need you. 🤩
reply
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
reply
They did the best they could do in hostile environments. The needle is shifting to the left slowly but surely. 2026 is going to bring a reckoning that Trump and Musk can’t prevent. We will win!! Don’t give up.
reply
I really hope they run again in 2026 either for these offices or others
reply
Thank you , guys. Keep on fighting.
reply
We must continue to fight for the lives of Floridians. The state I live in is a beautiful, natural wonder. Republicans are killing not just our people but our stunning flora and fauna.
reply
floridians are stupid. time to secede.

Florida’s economy is going to lose almost all of its tourist dollars this year. Hopefully that wakes up a few Florida Men!
reply
Florida is purple, it just doesnt know it yet
reply
Wtf Florida you are the worst.
reply
Yeah! You gave it your all. We are proud of you.
reply
Great job! Don’t forget that MANY people moved to Floriduh after Covid! It’s a very red state because of MAGA.

This was a very good effort!
reply
Yes, a big thank you to Josh Weil & Gay Valimont and those that volunteered, donated and voted for them.
reply
👏👏👏
reply
Thank you @joshweil.bsky.social @gayforcongress.bsky.social for running and working so hard. Thank you!!! You are making a difference. Hope you both run again.
reply
Breaking news unfortunately: Florida still full of fucks.
reply
I don’t give a guck about sending warnings, I want people to understand that democracy is in peril! They should have gotten of their lazy asses and voted in droves for these two! I’m so damned sick of lazy ass democrats!!!!
reply
I wrote postcards to voters in FL for these two races. We also wrote postcards to voters in WI on behalf of Judge Crawford. If you are looking for a way to be politically active, consider writing with us. It is very rewarding. Visit: https://www.PostcardsToVoters.org.
reply
Well done! Keep up the good fight!
reply
@gayforcongress.bsky.social @joshweil.bsky.social this was a special election, same election next year so don't lose momentum - keep campaigning because YOU WILL BEAT THEM IN 2026! STAY IN THIS FIGHT! @kenmartin.bsky.social

Not to shabby for the Dynamic Duo in Florida! Maybe Florida isn’t as red as they would have US believe. Got some tint of blue in the mix!
reply
Florida is cheating on elections 😩🤬
reply
I'm not surprised, the GOP is cheating in multiple ways to steal all the elections they can.
reply
Followed republikkkan Governors are purging POC off the roles watch Vigilantes INC GOOGLE IT🙏⚖️🇺🇸🇺🇦

They were the problem that got us GW Bush instead of Al Gore with the whole "hanging chads" crap in 2000.
