Randy Fine Wins Florida's 6th Congressional District Special Election

Republican Randy Fine has won the special election to represent Florida's 6th Congressional District, defeating Democrat Josh Weil, a result that solidifies the GOP's slim majority in the House. Fine's victory, called shortly after polls closed, comes as a boost for President Trump, who had endorsed him and participated in a campaign rally. Despite concerns over Fine's fundraising capabilities—raising less than $1 million compared to Weil's nearly $10 million—his strong support in this Republican-leaning district prevailed. Fine will take over the seat previously held by Mike Waltz, who joined the Trump administration as national security advisor. The election drew significant national attention due to its implications for the GOP's efforts to maintain control in Congress amid fluctuating approval ratings for Trump. Fine has positioned himself closely with Trump’s agenda, emphasizing unwavering support for the president's policies.
