Republicans cling to a place at home after the help of Trump and Musk
The Republicans held a place at home in Florida in a special election in Florida Tuesday evening after a match closer than expected, allow the Republicans to add to their strict majority.
Randy Fine, a right senator in the state legislature, won a special election to replace the national security councilor Michael Waltz, who resigned. Fine defeated Josh Weil, a democrat who received a wave of tide of external support from the Democrats who hoped to transform the race into a referendum on President Donald Trump.
The race proved to be much closer than expected in a district that voted for 30 points for Trump and who had previously elected Ron Desantis when he had served the congress. Desantis and Fine had constantly collided, with Desantis who warned that the fine would submit.
Starting from Tuesday evening, the end won the district of 14 points, easily beating Weil, but has a Trump performance in November.
Well, which is Jewish and an ardent supporter of Israel, he also got controversyLike when he said that the representatives Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, both Muslims, “could consider the idea of leaving” before he arrived at the congress.
Trump had supported the end campaign vocally, as well as the head of the Elon Musk government’s efficiency department, who poured money through his political action Committee called America PAC.
“Exit and vote for Randy – He won’t disappoint you,” Trump released on X, previously known as Twiter on Monday.
The Democrats poured resources in the races after the race became unexpectedly close, with Senator Bernie Sanders who approved Weil. The president of the National Democratic Committee Ken Martin Campaign in the State.
In recent years, Florida has moved from being a perennially republican state -range state, supported by Trump who adopted the house and migration by people who flee to escape from democratic states such as New York and the change to the right of Cuban, Puerto Richal and Venezuelan migrants.
The ending of the end shows that dissatisfaction with Trump could grow. On Wednesday his proposals will be proposed “Liberation Day” and many have expressed their disapproval for the way doge Musk has targeted numerous agencies.
On the same evening, Wisconsin’s Democrats tried to maintain a seat at the Supreme Court of the State while Susan Crawford ran against the former Republican general prosecutor Brad Schimel. Musk had visited Wisconsin e He kept a demonstration during the weekend.
The end victory will surely give the republicans of the house a sigh of relief. On the same evening, the republican Jimmy Patronis easily won the seat in the first district of Florida left free by the former deputy Matt Gaetz. Gaetz resigned when Trump appointed him a general prosecutor, although Gaetz ultimately withdrew his appointment.
The victories in Florida increase the margin of the Gop in the Chamber to 220 compared to the 213 of the Democrats after the death of two democratic members of the congress.
The President of the Chamber Mike Johnson had to keep an eye on the margins as the Republicans can only afford to lose a handful of members for a given vote. Last week, Trump revoked the nomination of the representative Elise Stefanik in New York to be an ambassador of the United States to the United Nations to prevent the Democrats from launching the seat in a special election.
The Republicans saw the effects of the narrow margins on Tuesday when a handful of Republicans joined all the Democrats to defeat a rule to start discussing the crucial parts of Trump’s political agenda. Johnson and House Gop Leadership Republicans had inserted a language to kill a Petition of discharge by the Republican representative Anna Paulina Luna di Floria to allow the new mothers to vote in the Chamber by prosecutor.
The Republicans and Trumps hope to overcome the proposal of Trump’s “a beautiful invoice” that would include the extension of the 2017 tax cuts that has signed and increasing the expense for the defense, the safety of the border between the United States and energy exploration.
The race is the first important test for Democrats and Republicans for the second presidency of Trump. By the end of the year, Virginia will have its governor’s race. Democrats hope to make a cut of federal works by Musk of members of Virginia an important critical point.
But probably he will have to wait a week until he is sworn. After the failed vote in the Chamber, the room updated its business for the week.
