TRUMP’S GOLDEN TOUCH: Randy Fine Flips Florida’s 6th District in Nail-Biter Election—Democrat’s $10M War Chest Crushed

VOLUSIA COUNTY, FL — In a razor-thin victory that sent shockwaves through Washington, Trump-endorsed Republican state Sen. Randy Fine clinched Florida’s 6th Congressional District in a high-drama special election Tuesday night—defeating Democrat Josh Weil, a public school employee and political newcomer who outraised Fine nearly 10-to-1 but still fell short in this GOP stronghold.

The race, widely seen as a referendum on President Trump’s early second-term agenda, was closer than expected in a district Trump won by 30 points in 2024. Fine’s triumph bolsters the GOP’s fragile House majority, now standing at just six seats after a wave of Republican resignations for Trump administration posts.

The result? Fine outperformed expectations, securing a win in what became the closest race for the district since 2018—though still falling short of former Rep. Mike Waltz’s 60%+ victories. Waltz, now Trump’s National Security Advisor, vacated the seat, setting the stage for this high-stakes showdown.

GOP Breathes Sigh of Relief

Republicans were sweating bullets ahead of Tuesday’s vote. With their House majority on a knife’s edge, a loss in either of Florida’s two special elections could have triggered panic in the GOP ranks.

In a sign of just how high the stakes were, Rep. Elise Stefanik’s (R-NY) nomination as UN Ambassador was abruptly pulled amid fears of further shrinking the GOP’s numbers.

But Fine’s win buys the GOP breathing room—and gives Trump another loyal foot soldier in Congress.

Trump & Fine Celebrate: “The MAGA Movement is UNSTOPPABLE!”

Minutes after the race was called, President Trump took to Truth Social, crowing:

“HUGE WIN in Florida! Randy Fine fought hard against the Radical Left’s $10 MILLION smear campaign—and WON! The Fake News said it would be close, but the MAGA BASE delivered. Congratulations, Randy!”

Fine fired back with gratitude, posting: “Thank you, President Trump! Florida’s 6th District STANDS WITH YOU!”
