Florida will hold two special election primaries on Tuesday to replace President Trump’s national security adviser Mike Walz in the sixth congressional district and former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.)

Jimmy Patronis, Florida’s chief financial officer running in the First District, and Randy Fine, a state senator running in the Sixth District, are seen as the favorites to fill the Republican-leaning congressional seats after President Trump endorsed them.

Trump-endorsed state Sen. Randy Fine easily won a special House primary Tuesday in northwest Florida, setting him up to fill a vacant, deep-red seat.

Two Republicans endorsed by President Donald Trump will win their special primaries Tuesday, moving one step closer to bringing Speaker Mike Johnson a little breathing room for the GOP’s narrow majority in the House.
