NBC News reports:
Republican state Sen. Randy Fine has prevailed in a special congressional election in Florida on Tuesday, NBC News projects, though the race is shaping up to be closer than November’s results in the deeply Republican district.
The 6th District race was giving some Republicans heartburn, with Weil vastly outraising Fine and Fine slow to launch TV ads. President Donald Trump carried the district, which includes Daytona Beach, by 30 points in November, but outside Republican groups hit the airwaves in the final days as the race appeared to be competitive.
That effort included a huge push from Florida Republicans to travel to the district to help get out the vote for Fine, and a late influx of cash to get Fine on TV.
Read the full article. Fine has literally called for “erasing” LGBTQ people from society and that’s not even close to the most offensive thing he’s said. He first gained national attention when he posted what many took as a threat to assassinate President Biden.
Trump won FL-6 by 30 points.
With 73% of the votes in the special election in, Republican Randy Fine only has an 8 point lead over Josh Weil.
