Florida's 11th Congressional District remains a solidly Republican seat following the retirement of longtime Rep. Daniel Webster, with voter registration favoring the GOP by a wide margin after recent redistricting. Republican nominee Joe Strada, a self-funded businessman, secured the nomination in a narrow August 2026 primary victory confirmed by recount and later received an endorsement from Donald Trump. Democratic nominee James Pericola, a lawyer with prior D.C. government affairs experience, won his primary but trails significantly in fundraising. Forecasters rate the general election on November 3 as safe or likely Republican, aligning with trader consensus on Strada's strong position driven by the district's partisan composition and resource advantages.
