'Annoyed' Republicans dump on Trump-backed candidate in 'closer than expected' race

Randy Fine, the Trump-endorsed Florida Republican candidate running to replace current national security adviser Mike Waltz, is taking heat from some GOP operatives as he faces a race that is much closer than expected.

Politico reports that Republicans still believe they will prevail in the upcoming special election in Florida's 6th Congressional District, but they are having to devote far more resources toward keeping it red than they should have to, especially since President Donald Trump won the district by 30 points last year.
