Trump-Backed Candidates Secure Wins in Florida Special Primaries to Replace Gaetz and Waltz
In a series of closely watched special primaries in Florida, candidates endorsed by former President Trump have emerged victorious, positioning themselves for upcoming elections to fill the vacated House seats of Representatives Matt Gaetz and Mike Waltz. Jimmy Patronis claimed the Republican nomination to represent the 1st Congressional District, while state Senator Randy Fine won the GOP primary for the 6th District. Both candidates emphasized key issues such as fiscal strength and border security during their campaign efforts. These results not only highlight the influence of Trump in local politics but also set the stage for competitive races ahead, with Democrats and Republicans now determining their final candidates for the general election.
