Florida Republicans are growing worried about two special elections on April 1 to replace Mike Waltz and Matt Gaetz in Florida ’s First Congressional District .

The race in FL-6 is especially concerning for the GOP because polls show the race between Republican State Sen. Randy Fine and Democratic school teacher Josh Weil within the margin of error.

Florida GOP Chairman Evan Power told the Washington Examiner that a massive fundraising disparity in favor of the Democratic Party , the style of Republican voters, and tactical errors by Fine were all to blame.

Power is confident that Republicans will hold FL-1 and FL-6 .

He says he expects a 9% Republican turnout advantage on Election Day .

Despite Democratic confidence, victory on Tuesday is still a long shot.

Power says a victory in Florida-1 was hardly even up for question.
