Republicans Sweep In Florida Special Elections: ‘CONGRATULATIONS TO AMERICA!!!’
Republicans scored a major political victory in Florida, winning two high-profile special elections that reinforce their House majority and send a clear message heading into the 2026 midterms: America is still red.
The GOP successfully defended both open seats—Florida’s 1st and 6th Congressional Districts—with decisive wins that bolstered momentum for the party and President Donald Trump’s America First agenda.

Randy Fine Wins in Florida’s 6th District
In Central Florida, State Senator Randy Fine defeated Democrat Josh Weil, despite facing a flood of outside money and progressive PAC support aimed at flipping the seat.
President Trump, who endorsed Fine early, celebrated the win, saying:
“Congratulations Randy, a great WIN against a massive CASH AVALANCHE!”
Fine’s win keeps the district firmly in Republican hands and further cements the power of Trump’s endorsements in key races.
Jimmy Patronis Secures the Panhandle
Meanwhile, in Florida’s 1st District—a Republican stronghold—Florida CFO Jimmy Patronis cruised to victory over far-left gun control activist Gay Valimont. Patronis, a longtime conservative voice in state politics, ran on a platform of border security, economic strength, and constitutional rights.
Trump congratulated Patronis as well, calling the result another example of “America rejecting radical Democrat policies.”
GOP Majority Holds Strong
These wins give Republicans 220 seats in the House compared to 213 for Democrats, with two vacancies still open. In a cycle where Democrats have tried to claim momentum through media narratives and isolated court decisions, these Florida races serve as a stark reality check.
While the margins were slightly narrower than in past elections, the GOP held the line, proving that grassroots support, strong candidates, and Trump’s backing remain a winning formula.
A Warning Shot for Democrats
The Florida sweep signals trouble for Democrats who hoped to chip away at Republican-held territory using culture war distractions and out-of-state money. Instead, they got a reminder that in Florida—and increasingly across the country—voters still prefer leadership grounded in freedom, law and order, and economic common sense.
Congratulations, Florida—and congratulations, America. The red wave hasn’t receded. It’s just getting started.
