Hope?

Top Republicans grew so concerned about the lackluster performance of their own GOP House candidate in an upcoming special election in Florida that President Donald Trump’s team and members of House GOP leadership decided to personally intervene.

Still, the concern for Republicans — and the hope for Democrats — is that a tighter-than-anticipated finish would be viewed as evidence that Republicans’ agenda in Washington doesn’t come with a voter-backed mandate. Democratic strategists say that if Weil can get within 10-15 points of Fine, it will suggest the party’s base is motivated and voters are souring on Trump’s agenda.
