Both Republicans will now advance to the April 1 special election, where they are expected to be heavy favorites in the solid GOP districts.

A dispute between Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Republican leaders of the Legislature over conflicting views of an immigration crackdown escalated Monday after the governor labeled as “bizarre” lawmakers’ proposal to strip him of immigration enforcement powers.

Florida state Sen. Randy Fine has won the Republican primary in the special election to replace former Rep. Mike Waltz in Florida's 6th Congressional District.

Patronis has the Trump endorsement, boasts the best name recognition in the district, and went into the stretch run of the Primary race best positioned financially, with almost $711,000 cash on hand as of Jan. 8. To put that in perspective, no other candidate in the crowded field had more than $33,000 for the stretch run.

Two Trump-endorsed candidates won Republican primaries for special House elections in Florida on Tuesday night.

Polls will open at 7 a.m. Tuesday in Escambia, Okaloosa and Santa Rosa Counties for the special primary election. Ten Republican candidates are on the ballot to fill the vacant Florida District 1 seat in Congress formerly held by Matt Gaetz.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is scheduled to hold a news conference Thursday in Orlando. A source tells ABC News that he is expected to announce his selection to replace U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, who President-elect Donald Trump has nominated as U.S. Secretary of State.

DeSantis said he wanted an appointee who would be strong on immigration enforcement, support cutting the federal bureaucracy and fight “the woke agenda.”

Jimmy Patronis easily won the Republican special primary Tuesday in the race to replace Matt Gaetz in Congress.

The wins put MAGA loyalists Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine on glide paths to Congress when they take on little-known Democratic opponents in special general elections on April 1.
