The Florida Democratic Party announced on April 26 that it will contest all of Florida’s 28 congressional districts for the first time since 2018.

The party’s announcement comes amid weeks of messaging from both the Biden-Harris Campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) indicating their intentions to compete in Florida in 2024 after the state has become increasingly Republican over the last 25 years.
