Republicans look to avert humiliation in Florida special election
(The Hill) Republicans are pulling out all the stops ahead of the special election in Floridas 6th Congressional District as worries of a narrower-than-expected margin grow in the district President Trump won by more than 30 points in November.
Trump called into two tele-town halls for state Sen. Randy Fine (R) in an effort to drive out the Republican base ahead of Tuesday. Meanwhile, Elon Musks America PAC spent roughly $10,200 in the race earlier this week and dropped another $66,000 into the race Thursday.
The efforts come as Democratic candidate Josh Weil has outraised Fine, while an internal poll from the Republican firm Fabrizio Ward showed Weil holding a 3-point lead over Fine.
