A slate of congressional hopefuls are vying to win their Florida primaries in special elections to replace two high-profile House Republicans.

The candidate endorsed by President Trump on Tuesday won the Republican primary in a special election in Florida's 6th Congressional District in the race to replace former GOP Rep. Michael Waltz, who stepped down from his House seat last week to serve as Trump's national security adviser.

Florida CFO Jimmy Patronis and state Sen. Randy Fine are projected to win the special primary elections to fill the two vacant House seats in Florida.

The two candidates will move on to special general elections on April 1, when they will be strongly favored to expand the Republicans’ slim House majority.

Democrats and Republicans have elected their candidates for the April 1 special election to fill the seat vacated by Michael Waltz.

Both Republicans will now advance to the April 1 special election, where they are expected to be heavy favorites in the solid GOP districts.

Voters in parts of northeast Florida have until 7 p.m. to cast a ballot in a special primary election to replace Rep. Michael Waltz. Waltz resigned from Congress on Jan. 20, to join the Trump administration as national security advisor.

Republicans are eager to find replacements for former Reps. Matt Gaetz and Michael Waltz to add breathing room to their slender majority in the House. Winners advance to a general election on April 1.

Dr. Terry Cronin, a Brevard County physician and business owner for over 25 years, has announced his candidacy for Florida House District 32.
