Randy Fine, a Republican state senator, won the special election in Florida's Sixth Congressional District, as reported by The Associated Press. His victory against Democrat Josh Weil was pivotal for the GOP's goal to maintain its slim majority in the House. The elections come amidst fears within the party regarding underperformance, particularly as Fine's candidacy faced scrutiny from prominent figures like Steve Bannon and Governor Ron DeSantis. The race reflects ongoing tensions within Florida's Republican dynamics, especially following Trump's endorsement.
The race was one of two special House elections in Florida on Tuesday, both for seats formerly held by Republicans, crucial for maintaining the party's House majority.
Despite Mr. Fine's Republican affiliation, concerns were raised over his candidacy, with Governor Ron DeSantis predicting subpar performance, specifically linking it to Fine's individual campaign.
