2026 elections: Do the troubles of Rep. Cory Mills (GOP-Florida) put the 7th congressional district in play for Democrats?

 
Democrats have been severely cutting into GOP margins in special elections recently.

Aaron Pellish, Gary Fineout, and Mia McCarthy report:
Lindsey Langston, a Florida Republican state committee member and 2024 winner of the Miss United States beauty pageant, told authorities on July 14 that Mills also threatened to harm any of her future romantic partners, according to a report she made to the Columbia County Sheriff’s Department that was obtained Tuesday by POLITICO. 
Her allegations were sent to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for review, said Steven Khachigan, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s department. The FDLE did not immediately respond to a request for comment. 
Mills, who has represented a district south of Daytona Beach since 2023, has not been charged and told POLITICO in a statement that he was unaware of the police report.

Is Mills one and done?  A 15-percentage-point margin of victory in 2024 is no indication of electoral success in 2026.
