Republicans concerned about Florida House seat election

A special election is coming up in Florida's sixth congressional district on April 1. This district was previously held by Mike Waltz, who was a national security adviser to Donald Trump. Last fall, Trump won this area by a large margin of 30 percentage points. Recent reports indicate that Republicans are feeling uneasy about maintaining control of this seat. Despite its history of strong Republican support, there are signs that the election might be more competitive than expected. The Democratic candidate, Josh Weil, has significantly outfundraised his opponent, Randy Fine, who is backed by Trump. Weil has raised $9 million, with $1.2 million still available for campaigning. In contrast, Fine has raised only about $988,000, with just $92,000 left to spend. While Fine is still favored to win, the surprising fundraising numbers have caught the attention of both Republican and Democratic strategists. The final vote margin could provide hints about potential shifts in voter sentiment in other upcoming elections.
