Ashley Moody projected to win Florida U.S. Senate special election

politicsNov 3, 2026369,872

Decision Desk HQ projects Republican Sen. Ashley Moody to win a full term, narrowly defeating Democratic state Rep. Angie Nixon. Moody led Nixon by 0.7 percentage points with 84.3 percent of the vote reported as of 8:03 p.m. EST Tuesday, according to DDHQ. The Cook Political Report had rated the race as solidly favoring Republicans. Moody was appointed to the Senate last year by Gov. Ron DeSantis when Marco Rubio joined President Trump’s Cabinet. Nixon accused Moody of approving mishandling of taxpayer funds tied to the charity Hope Florida and demanded Moody be “locked up and punished in jail.” A sealed grand jury report obtained by CBS News Miami said Moody was reportedly aware of the plan to divert the payment and authorized her former chief deputy attorney general, John Guard, to sign the settlement. Moody campaigned on backing Trump’s immigration agenda, “standing up for the rule of law,” and framed the choice as “safety and chaos” and “Freedom vs. Socialism,” and she received an endorsement from Trump.

A little more money in Florida and she would have had a such a better chance. Rarely saw any Nixon commercials

Hopefully the Dems actually help FUND her campaign cause she would have won if they did.

I hope Nixon exposes how horrible Moody is every week for the next 2 years.

Beautiful! We have 2 years to help fund her campaign. She can win!

Fuck. Thanks for the constant mishandling Schumer and Jeffries. You both gotta go.

With the support of whoever the new Dem Senate leader is, she'll crush it

I'm so frustrated at seeing everyone else, and what we could have had if the national party had done the bare minimum

This was a ridiculously close race and she should be proud

Revolutionary Jason2

To come out of nowhere and come within 1%, with zero support from the Democratic Party — with two more years to organize, she'll get it in 28 for sure.

Florida the home of meth, cocaine, and gators and the infamous Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump, is projected to stay red, with Republican Sen. Ashley Moody narrowly defeating Democratic challenger Angie Nixon by under 3 percentage points. A close finish, if that margin holds. #USElection #Midterms

Would have been nice if Schumer actually helped Angie Nixon with funding.

@angieforfl.bsky.social gave the most spectacular run in FL that I have seen in years. Impressive as living hell. It is Florida and the country's loss to not have her be the next US Senator from Florida.

Late votes there usually lean GOP, but I think it’s early.

Angie Nixon would have won if she had literally any investment from the party. Period.

neuse river hag39

not a loss in any way that matters, give nixon $500 million and a license to kill for 2028 and then put her in rick scott's seat 2 years after that

Dear Democrats: Florida is gone. Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona & Texas are where you need to look. Let Florida die.

Ashley Moody has BARELY beaten Angie Nixon in Florida. | You can blame Chuck Schumer for this loss! He refused to give Nixon any campaign money or resources. Nixon is a progressive and Schumer would rather a MAGA get elected than a progressive. Chuck Schumer is controlled opposition. He must go.

Nixon showed the type of dedication and hard work America needs in government. But she didn't have the $$$. She has a future in politics.

This is so disappointing -- even if it was always an uphill battle -- and begs the question what could have been if the DNC had invested more resources into this race.
