Republicans have the upper hand in the upcoming special election taking place in Florida's 6th district, but the contest is expected to be much closer than initially anticipated, leaving GOP leaders uneasy about the political message the outcome could convene.
The contest to fill the seat left open by national security adviser Mike Waltz will take place between Republican Randy Fine and Democrat Josh Weil. Waltz had won the district by some 30 points, but the most recent poll shows Fine leading within its margin of error.
