Republicans look to avert humiliation in Florida special election [View all]
(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.
