The crypto industry’s Fairshake political action committee is flooding Republican candidates with last-minute money in special congressional elections in Florida. Two U.S. House of Representatives seats had been opened by resignations when their occupants were tapped for posts in President Donald Trump’s administration, including that of Matt Gaetz, the politician Trump sought for the attorney general job who was tied to accusations of sex with a minor and drug abuse. The open seats are pivotal for Republicans’ control of their tight margin in their House majority, so Democrats have devoted tremendous money and attention to them.
Both Republican candidates in the April 1 special election check Fairshake’s primary box: They support digital assets. Early voting is set to begin this weekend, and Democrats have also devoted money. However, the seats have leaned significantly Republican in recent voting. Overall, the House is short four members, because two Democrat members from Texas and Arizona died this month. If Democrats managed to win all four seats, Republicans would be left with a single-vote majority.
