Democrats spent more than $15 million in losing two special congressional elections in Florida, both of which were called for the Republican candidate within minutes of polls closing.
In Florida’s 1st Congressional District — which was previously represented by former U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz — the race was called in favor of Trump-endorsed Jimmy Patronis within seconds of polls officially closing at 8 p.m. Elsewhere in the Sunshine State, another Trump-endorsed candidate, Randy Fine, was declared the victor within minutes.
Fine, who will be replacing National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, was initially projected to be in for a close race due to fundraising issues and an early voting advantage for Democrats. Grassroots support managed to erase the lead within days, however, giving Fine a massive early voting advantage that culminated in a double-digit victory.
While Democrats enjoyed success in the pivotal Wisconsin Supreme Court race, Florida was a much different story both in terms of overall results and money spent. In an official statement, the Republican National Committee pointed out that Democrats wasted millions-of-dollars on the losing effort.
“The American people sent a clear message tonight: they want elected officials who will advance President Trump’s America First agenda, and their votes can’t be bought by national Democrats,” RNC Chairman Michael Whatley said.
