Randy Fine, Jimmy Patronis Win Florida Special Election Primaries

Florida state Senator Randy Fine has won the Republican primary for the 6th Congressional District, securing over 83% of the votes, and will face Democrat Josh Weil in the general election scheduled for April 1. Fine, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, emphasized his commitment to pro-Israel advocacy and pledged to support Trump's agenda. His victory is seen as a reflection of Trump's ongoing influence within the Republican Party and highlights the significance of pro-Israel positions in GOP politics. Turnout for the primaries was low, with approximately 14% of registered voters participating. In the Democratic primary, Weil, a public school teacher, won with about 68% of the votes. As the election approaches, Fine's strong conservative base and his vocal support for Israel position him as a formidable candidate in the upcoming election.
