President-elect Donald Trump has encouraged Florida state Sen. Randy Fine to consider running for Congress, expressing his willingness to endorse the lawmaker if he decides to enter the race. Trump made his endorsement intentions clear in a post on the Truth Social platform, stating that Fine, whom he referred to as an 'America First Patriot,' would have his full support if he chooses to run for Florida's 6th Congressional District.
Fine, in response to Trump's endorsement, shared a screenshot of the post on another platform and expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to support Trump's agenda. He acknowledged Trump's influence and expressed his eagerness to contribute to what he described as a significant mission.
Trump's recent engagement with Florida politicians extends beyond Fine, as he also selected Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., for a key role as national security adviser. Waltz, who recently secured re-election to Congress, will be resigning from his congressional position to assume his new responsibilities within the Trump administration. Consequently, a special election will be conducted to fill the vacancy left by Waltz's departure.
Notably, Fine's political career has seen recent success, with his election to the Florida state Senate following prior service in the state House of Representatives. The potential entry of Fine into the congressional race under Trump's endorsement adds an intriguing dynamic to the political landscape in Florida's 6th Congressional District.
