U.S. House District 6 special election results: Fine defeats Weil
Republican Randy Fine defeated Democratic challenger Josh Weil on Tuesday in the special election to fill a U.S. House of Representatives seat in northern Florida, a critical win for President Donald Trump and the GOP given their narrow majorities on Capitol Hill. The race was called for Fine just half an hour after polls closed in the heavily Republican district by the New York Times and CNN.
Fine, 50, will be taking over the seat left vacant by Mike Waltz, who Trump tapped to serve as the national security advisor. Waltz previously represented Florida’s red-leaning sixth congressional district, which covers cities such as Daytona Beach as well as the Ocala National Forest.
