Trump’s move comes due to the concern of the White House and Republicans at Capitol Hill during the special congresses next week in Florida.
Voters in two congress districts in Florida will head to polls on Tuesday, as Republicans aim to retain control over solid red seats and give themselves a little more space to breathe in the house.
The elections were in the 1st and 6th Congress Florida, which Trump carried 37 and 30 points at last year’s presidential elections.

However, democratic candidates have exceeded the Republican candidates greatly, and in recent days it has suggested that the race in the 6th district was within the mistake.
The GOP currently has a majority of 218-213 in the house, with two vacancies in which the Republicans also stepped down two where Democratic MPs died in March.

“When it comes to Florida, you have two races, and they seem to be good,” Trump said.
But pointing to the enormous advantage of raising funds by democratic candidates because of GOP competitors, Trump has caused concerns by saying “you never know what is happening in such a case”.

Republican Matt Gaetz, who won the election in the election last November, resigned as a few weeks later after Trump chose him as his candidate for the Attorney General in another administration.
Gaetz later retired from the consideration of the cabinet in the middle of a controversy.
But it is a race in the 6th CD, located on Florida’s Atlantic Coast from Dayton Beach to south of Saint Augustine and in the interior to the periphery of the Reader, which really causes concern among some of the GOP.
The race is inherited by Republican Michael Waltz, who left the place of January 20th after Trump appointed him his national security advisor.

Weil has attracted a lot of national attention in recent weeks by putting it off well in a campaign in a cash battle of about ten to one.
Cash departure in the 6th CD race encouraged external groups aligned with the GOP to contribute at the last minute in support of the penalty day in the final days of the campaign, with conservative Super Pacs launched ads indicating that Trump’s support is in cash.
“I would prefer that our candidate has raised money faster and arrived faster on TV,” Richard Hudson’s envoy from North Carolina told reporters earlier this week, chairman of the National Republican Congress Committee.
But Hudson added that Fine “does what to do. Now it’s on TV.”
And he emphasized, “We will win the place. I don’t care at all.”
Trump, pointing to good, admitted on Friday that “our candidate does not have that kind of money.”
Some fellow Republicans criticized the Republicans. Former Top Trump’s political advisor and conservative host Steve Bannon warned that he was “not winning fine”.
And the courtyard Florida Ron Desantis rules They told reporters last week that the GOP would be a weaker effect in the race, claiming that “it is a reflection of the candidate running in that race.”
But it is worth pointing to the controversial history between Desantis and Fine, who was the first Republican Florida to transfer his approval from the Estantis to Trump during the Battle of the Republican Presidential candidacy of 2024.

Although races in two districts dominated by Republicans are far from ideal for the democrats to try and turn, the elections are the first opportunity for voters and donors to try to make the difference from Trump’s return to power in the White House.
And Democrats say that the increase in funds raising for their candidates is a sign that their party is motivated in the middle of the voter frustration because of the favorable and controversial moves Trump has made in his introductory weeks in power.
“The American people do not buy what Republicans sell,” the leader of the Hakem Jeffies’ House leader told reporters this week.

Jeffries and other Democrats do not predict victory.
But Jeffies, a top -notch Democrat in the House, pointed out that “these environments are so Republican, there would be usually no reason to believe that the races will be close, but what I can say, almost guaranteed, is that a democratic candidate will significantly exceed these special choices in Florida.”

“We don’t want to take a risk. We don’t want to experiment,” Trump said as he pointed out that he would be a special choice later this year to fill Stefanik’s place if he resigned if confirmed as a UN’s ambassador. “A survey like me. I won her district with a lot of points. She manages very well there.”
“She’s very popular. She’ll win. Someone else is likely to win because we went well there. I succeeded there well. But the word” probably “is not good,” the president added, as he emphasized that he does not want to take the risk. “
Trump said he asked Stefanik, “Will you keep in mind to stay in the congress?” Because we don’t want to take the risk.
“I really appreciate it to do it,” Trump added. “Do me a great service … because she was ready to go to the United Nations.”

Stefanik has already stepped down and has been replaced in his guide role as GOP as a president of the Republican Conference of the House.
“I talked to Mike Johnson, they would put it in a high leading position,” Trump said, as he referred to the president of the house.
