US Edition3 candidates all spend 6 figures ahead of HD 32 GOP Primary
- A special election will be held tomorrow in Florida's 6th Congressional District, a long-held Republican seat around Daytona Beach, to fill the vacancy left by Mike Waltz after he accepted a position as President Trump's national security advisor.
- The House seat became vacant after Mike Waltz, who won the seat last November with two-thirds of the vote, departed to join the White House.
- Democratic nominee Josh Weil, a math teacher and political newcomer, campaigned at the Silver Springs Shores Community Center in Ocala, Florida, and polls have tightened in the race between Weil and Republican state senator Randy Fine.
- Weil has significantly outraised Fine, bringing in $10 million compared to Fine's $1 million, and Fine has stated that his Judaism has not played a significant role in his campaign, saying, "I'm very confident in the outcome."
- The outcome of the election could indicate a pickup opportunity for Republicans if Fine loses to Weil, who Fine has called "Jihad Josh," though Fine's campaign has been criticized for lacking evidence for the claim.
