On Tuesday, Sen. Ashley Moody won the Republican primary with 79.6% of the vote, securing the GOP nomination for Florida's U.S. Senate seat.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed Moody to the Senate in 2025 after Marco Rubio became Secretary of State, triggering this special election for the final two years of the term.
Moody defeated primary challengers Chris Gleason, Neelam Perry, and Ernie Rivera, advancing to face Democrat Angie Nixon and independent Neil Gillespie in November.
The Nixon poll reported Moody held 47% support compared to 36% for Nixon, while Republicans have enjoyed widespread support across Florida.
Early voting begins Oct 24, with the general election scheduled for Nov 3, 2026, according to the Florida Division of Elections.
