The upcoming special election in November will determine the new occupant of the Senate seat vacated by Marco Rubio. Rubio left his position to serve as secretary of state. Ashley Moody, appointed temporarily to replace Rubio, is now vying for a full term until 2028.
Moody, a Republican and former Florida attorney general, is campaigning to secure her party’s nomination. On the Democratic side, voters will choose between state Representative Angie Nixon and retired Lieutenant Colonel Alex Vindman as potential challengers.
Lt. Col. Vindman is known for his significant involvement in the first impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump, which highlights his political stance and experience.
The results of this election will decide the political future of Rubio’s successor and have implications for Florida’s representation in Congress.
