Governor Ron DeSantis has criticized Congressman Randy Fine, calling him a "squish" and blaming his personality for an underwhelming victory in Tuesday's special election. Fine defeated Democrat Josh Weil by 14 percentage points, but DeSantis argued that Fine's margin was lower than expected.
The feud between DeSantis and Fine began in October 2023 when Fine withdrew his endorsement of DeSantis in favor of Trump. DeSantis attributed Fine's "underperformance" to his stance on gun control and immigration. Fine dismissed the criticism, emphasizing his legislative achievements and Trump's endorsement.
