Republican Randy Fine, a state senator, defeated Democrat and teacher Josh Weil in a special election that attracted national attention and millions of dollars. Leftist candidate Josh Weil raised almost 10 times as much money as Fine; however, with the votes counted Randy Fine won by 14 points [DATA].

Republican Jimmy Patronis also won a special election to hold this panhandle-based seat for the GOP.  The seat was formerly occupied by Matt Gaetz.  Patronis defeated Democrat Gay Valimont, who was also the party’s nominee in the 2024 general election. Patronis also won by 14 points [DATA].

Media and political punditry are noticing that neither district was won at the same margin as President Trump (roughly +30 points).  As the narrative is spun by Leftists and their professional GOPe allies, the closer margin indicates doom for republicans in the mid-term 2026 election.

BOTH FLORIDA HOUSE SEATS HAVE BEEN WON, BIG, BY THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE. THE TRUMP ENDORSEMENT, AS ALWAYS, PROVED FAR GREATER THAN THE DEMOCRATS FORCES OF EVIL. CONGRATULATIONS TO AMERICA!!!  ~ President Donald Trump
