Incumbent Republican Mike Haridopolos holds a commanding position in Florida's 8th congressional district heading into the November 2026 general election against Democrat Jennifer Jenkins. Both candidates advanced unopposed after August primaries were canceled. The seat leans Republican, with Donald Trump carrying the district by roughly 12.5 points in 2024 and recent redistricting further favoring the party. Haridopolos maintains a substantial fundraising edge and benefits from incumbency in a district rated Solid or Safe Republican by multiple forecasters. Limited polling shows the Republican ahead by double digits in head-to-head matchups, though one survey suggested a tighter contest once voters received biographical details on Jenkins. Trader consensus reflects these structural and resource advantages. Late developments such as a major scandal, health issue, or unusually strong Democratic turnout could narrow the gap before Election Day.
