DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA – Josh Weil, a Democrat running in a special election to fill a vacancy in Florida’s 6th District congressional seat, sees a path to victory by winning over seniors and veterans in a solidly red district who are frustrated with cuts made by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.  

“People are scared. They never thought they’d find themselves in a time when there was uncertainty over if their next Social Security check was going to come in,” Weil said in an interview with the Washington Examiner. “It’s wild, like it should have just been a given, and now suddenly there’s risk.”
