Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

In Florida's special primaries, Jimmy Patronis won in the 1st District and Randy Fine in the 6th, both endorsed by Donald Trump. The elections aim to replace former Reps. Matt Gaetz and Mike Waltz, who left Congress for other roles. With substantial primary victories—Patronis securing over 66% and Fine surpassing 80%—both candidates are positioned as strong favorites for the general elections on April 1, after their predecessors resigned amid controversies.
