Florida’s state senator, Randy Fine, republican candidate in the special elections of the United States Chamber on Tuesday for the unemployed seat by former representative Mike Waltz, said in ABC News Live on Monday that he does not believe he breaks with President Donald Trump in policies.
“I don’t believe it,” Fine told ABC News Live presenter, Diane Macedo, when asked if she disagrees with Trump in something.
“I mean, look, I was the second Florida legislator in supporting [Trump] About the governor [Ron] Desantis [in the 2024 presidential primaries] … And so, no, I mean, I believe on the Amazon of America and Donald Trump’s agenda. And what is more important, I think that when you have a team captain, you have to support the team, “said Fine.

He also said he has spoken with Florida farmers on the subject.
“Florida farmers are supporting me. The main agricultural entities in Florida are supporting me, and they are happy because they see that foreign goods are thrown into the United States, subsidized by other countries. They have difficulty selling their products abroad and are glad to see that the United States defends fair trade practices,” said Fine.
