Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticized newly elected Congressman Randy Fine, alleging Fine's personality led to an underwhelming victory. DeSantis claimed Fine's stance on gun control and immigration alienated Republican voters, necessitating intervention from President Trump.

Randy Fine is pushing back against claims by Gov. Ron DeSantis surrounding a failed push to install Fine as the President of Florida Atlantic University (FAU). DeSantis said he was trying to get Fine out of Tallahassee and into the FAU job because legislators wanted Fine gone.

Republicans Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine have won special elections in two Florida congressional districts. They both won by narrower margins than President Trump had in their districts four years ago.

Republican Jimmy Patronis thanked supporters after winning the Florida District 1 House race to replace former Rep. Matt Gaetz.

Two Trump-endorsed Republicans, Randy Fine and Jimmy Patronis, won in Florida's special election Tuesday night to expand the GOP's narrow majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.
