The races to fill the U.S. House seats of former Reps. Mike Waltz and Matt Gaetz commenced on Tuesday with primaries in conservative districts that strongly support President Donald Trump. The 1st Congressional District, previously represented by Gaetz, and the 6th Congressional District, formerly held by Waltz, are up for grabs.
Republicans are anticipated to retain the seats, which would restore their narrow 220-215 majority in the U.S. House as they advance Trump's agenda. However, the implementation of Trump’s policies may face delays as Congress awaits the confirmation of the primary winners in the general elections scheduled for April 1.
