These two special elections could help shift the balance of the House

By Deepa Shivaram,
Domenico Montanaro, Greg Allen
Published March 31, 2025 at 4:05 PM EDT

Races to fill two vacant seats in Florida's first and sixth congressional districts are getting a lot of attention. Despite Republicans having a long history of success in both, Democrats think they have a chance to keep things close — if not possibly to pull off major upsets. We look at who is running.

This episode: White House correspondent Deepa Shivaram, senior political editor & correspondent Domenico Montanaro, and national correspondent Greg Allen.

The podcast is produced by Bria Suggs & Kelli Wessinger and edited by Casey Morell. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
