  • The field of candidates has been set for two special elections in Florida to replace members of Congress nominated for positions in President-elect Donald Trump's new administration.

The article from AP News discusses the special elections in Florida to fill the seats vacated by former Republican Representatives Matt Gaetz and Neal Dunn, who resigned to run for different offices. These elections are taking place in Florida's 1st and 2nd Congressional Districts, both of which are heavily Republican. The candidates include former state lawmakers and local officials, with the GOP primaries being particularly competitive. The article highlights the influence of former President Donald Trump, who endorsed candidates in these races, notably supporting Gaetz's chosen successor, Aaron Dimmock, in the 1st District. The outcome of these elections could reflect on Trump's sway within the Republican Party, especially given the timing close to the presidential primaries. The special elections are set to occur on March 19, 2024, with the winners serving out the remainder of the terms until January 2025.
