A slate of congressional hopefuls are vying to win their Florida primaries in special elections to replace two high-profile House Republicans.

Update: Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine swept their respective primaries in congressional special elections. Patronis had 65.6% of the vote in CD 1 with 65% of the vote counted. There was no Democratic primary so Patronis will face Gay Valimont.

Randy Fine won Tuesday’s Republican primary for Florida’s 6th Congressional District, beating Aaron Baker and Ehsan Joarder.

Gaetz resigned his post last year after he was nominated to be Trump's attorney general, and before he withdrew his name from consideration. Waltz resigned his post last week to serve as Trump’s national security adviser.

Fine, who is backed by President Donald Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and former Rep. Mike Waltz , had a prohibitive cash edge, with $426,712 raised through Jan. 8, according to Federal Election Commission records. More than $355,000 of that comes from individual contributions, and the other $70,000-plus stems from committee cash.

A special election to replace outgoing state Sen. Randy Fine and former state Rep. Joel Rudman, who are running for congressional seats, has been set.

Republicans are expected to hold the seats following the general election April 1, which would boost their thin majority in the U.S. House as they pursue Trump’s agenda.

Florida state Sen. Randy Fine, a Jewish Republican and outspoken supporter of Israel, handily won a special congressional primary in Florida’s 6th Congressional District on Tuesday, almost certainly guaranteeing him a seat in the House.

President Donald Trump-endorsed candidates Randy Fine and Jimmy Patronis handily won Republican primaries Tuesday in special elections for seats in districts vacated by former Florida Congressmen Mike Waltz and Matt Gaetz.

Both Republicans will now advance to the April 1 special election, where they are expected to be heavy favorites in the solid GOP districts.

Special primaries in two conservative Florida districts will take place Tuesday to replace former U.S. Reps. Matt Gaetz and Mike Waltz.
