AFP In what was widely considered a referendum on President Donald Trump's first 10 weeks in office, Republican candidates won their special elections to the House of Representatives in his home state of Florida on Tuesday -- although not by the wide margins posted by their GOP predecessors. In Florida Congressional Districts 1 and 6, where Trump and the previous seat-holders won by more than 30 points, Republicans Jimmy Patronis topped Democrat Gay Valimont by a 57%-42% margin and Randy Fine defeated Josh Weil 57%-42% respectively, as projected by CNN. While Democrats are declaring a minor moral victory and a possible sign that some Trump voters could be experiencing buyers' remorse.
