And the special election in Florida’s 6th District, a nail-biter for many national GOP operatives given that state Sen. Randy Fine was outraised by progressive challenger Josh Weil 10-to-1, did end up as a Republican win.

But the surprise of the night came from the Panhandle’s 1st District, where former Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis won against Democrat Gay Valimont by nearly the same margin that Fine did — something operatives hadn’t predicted in the days leading up to the election.

The results showed Valimont was the first Democrat in recent history to win Escambia County, which includes military-heavy Pensacola.
