Early returns from Florida’s Tuesday midterm elections show Democrats winning or leading in congressional districts that Republicans redrew this year to favor the GOP. The Guardian reports Democrats have won three of the four targeted seats and narrowly lead the fourth, and that Kathy Castor, Pia Dandiya and Jared Moskowitz are projected to win the 14th, 22nd and 25th districts. Newsweek reports that the Associated Press, The New York Times and CNN called the Moskowitz, Castor and Dandiya races. Washington Examiner reports that Moskowitz beat a Republican opponent in early returns and says the redistricting push may fall short of the four GOP-leaning seats it aimed to add. Hot Air, an opinion piece, highlights narrow GOP wins. These are partial counts and projections.

    NEW: GOP Gets Narrow Wins in Florida In a Tough Midterm

    Well, the midterm cycle so far looks a lot like a ... midterm cycle. As of now, we have only lost one Senate seat, an expected flip in North Carolina, but the races in Florida looked a lot closer than anyone expected.
