Florida Republicans are lining up for a special election to fill the vacant seat of Rep. Matt Gaetz .

Six Republicans have already announced they are running for the 1st District in Florida .

The winner of the special election would likely be sworn into office in the spring , putting a strain on House Speaker Mike Johnson's slim House majority.
