✅Incumbent Ashley Moody projected winner in Florida's U.S. Senate race
What to Know
- Sen. Ashley Moody ran against Democratic candidate and State Rep. Angie Nixon.
- Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed Moody after former Sen. Marco Rubio stepped down to be the U.S. secretary of state.
- The winner will complete the remainder of Rubio’s term, which expires in 2029.
- These are the candidates running in key Florida races.
Republican Ashley Moody won election Tuesday to the U.S. Senate representing Florida, defeating Democrat Angie Nixon.
Moody first took the seat when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis tapped her to succeed Marco Rubio when he became U.S. secretary of state in 2025.
A former state attorney general, Moody will serve the last two years of the term Rubio won in 2022.
Nixon, a state lawmaker, is a democratic socialist who tested the strength of Democrats’ left flank in a state where the party has not won a U.S. Senate seat since 2012.
Nixon upset establishment Democrats’ more moderate favorite in the primary. Her general election loss is unlikely to help heal the struggling state party’s internal rift.
