Trump-supporting voters are showing up big time in Florida’s 6th congressional district to support Republican candidate Randy Fine. The “booming” turnout, paired with the district’s R+14 rating, points to a strong potential Republican win. Which is crucial for House Speaker Mike Johnson, who currently governs with a slim Republican majority.
Fine is running against Democratic challenger Josh Weil to fill the seat of former Rep. Mike Waltz, who has advanced to being a national security advisor in President Donald Trump’s administration.
Decision Desk HQ’s Michael Pruser reported on X that turnout has been phenomenal for Fine.
“We’re three hours into election day voting in FL-06, Randy Fine is getting everything he could have dreamed of, and more,” the election forecaster wrote. “Turnout is booming, and Republicans are coming out en masse. Exactly 19,000 ballots were cast today through 10 am ET, and the composite of these ballots is a whopping R+36.”
He added, “This pushes the overall current electorate to R +13.04%, and we are likely going to sail upwards toward R+18% by the end of the day.”
On Monday, Fine said at a telephone town hall meeting that Democrats will do all they can to slow House business if Weil wins.
“Democrats are mad,” he said. “They’re going to do whatever it takes to grind Donald Trump’s agenda to a halt.”
President Donald Trump has spoken in favor of Fine, rallying supporters to turn out and vote for the America First candidate.
“America First Patriot Randy Fine is running to represent the Wonderful People of Florida’s 6th Congressional District!” he wrote in Truth Socia post. ” A highly successful, Harvard educated businessman, and greatly respected State Legislator, Randy has been a tremendous Voice for MAGA.”
Trump added, “In Congress, Randy will be an incredible fighter, who will work tirelessly with me to Strengthen our Economy, Lower Taxes, Secure the Border, Champion our Military/Vets, Ensure American Energy DOMINANCE, Protect our always under siege Second Amendment, and Advance PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.”
