Randy Fine wins the special elections in the sixth Congress District of Florida

Randy Fine, a Senator of the Republican State in Florida, won the special elections in the sixth Congress District of Florida on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press.

Mr. Fine beat Josh Weil, a Democrat, competing for the free place by the former representative Michael Waltz. Waltz is now councilor for national security of President Trump.

The race was one of the two special elections of the house in Florida Tuesday, both for the seats previously held by the Republicans. The party must keep both to protect its subtle majority at home.

The race to replace the former representative Matt Gaetz in the first congress district of the State, in the Panhandle, had not yet been called since the polls are still open in part of the district. Jimmy Patronis, Chief Financial Officer of the state, is facing Gay Valimont, a Democrat who lost against Mr. Gaetz last year.

The non -partisan political relationship has assessed both districts as solidly republicans. Mr. Fine and Mr. Patronis each have easily eliminated their respective primary fields after ensuring the approval of Mr. Trump.

However, democratic candidates in both districts have mounted ferocious fundraising campaigns that brought millions of dollars despite the recent struggles of their party in Florida.

While the special elections approached, some Republicans expressed concern for Mr. Fine’s race. Steve Bannon, a higher ally of Mr. Trump, warned in his show “War Room” that “we have a candidate who I don’t think he is winning – this is a problem”.

Governor Ron Desantis, a Republican who represented the sixth district before applying for the state office, provided that “it will be a submarine way” for his party, compared to the previous elections, but said that such a result would be “a reflection of the specific candidate in the race in that race”.

Mr. Fine, a former gambling lobbyist and Pugnace state representative, is the only Jewish republican in the legislature of Florida. Him broken With the Governor when he approved Mr. Trump instead of Desantis in the republican presidential primary last year, saying that he thought that Mr. Trump would be a better ally against anti -Semitism.

During the special electoral campaigns, Trump hosted meetings of the telephone town both for Mr. Fine and for Mr. Patronis, while Ken Martin, president of the National Democratic Committee, traveled to the district to appear with Mr. Weil.

With the control of the house that falters, the restoration of the republican votes for the two vacant seats would be as important as the party Navigate the internal divisions Beyond a package of internal policies, which should include significant cuts for shopping and taxes. Democrats should oppose unanimously to the plan, which means that the republicans of the Chamber can just save any vote.

The republican concerns for their close control margin in the house – and in particular for the match of Mr. Fine – grew to the point that Thursday, Mr. Trump asked the representative Elise Stefanik in New York withdraw his name from consideration Be ambassador to the United Nations and instead remain at the congress.
