Florida Democrat Josh Weil, who made headlines by raising nearly $14 million in a special election earlier this year, has announced his bid for the U.S. Senate seat in 2026. Weil, a math and science teacher, has begun his campaign tour at a veterans center in Clay County.
According to Politico, the progressive Democrat aims to challenge Senator Ashley Moody, who was appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis to replace Marco Rubio after he became Secretary of State. Moody has already shown strong fundraising abilities, collecting $1.2 million through her joint fundraising committee and about $400,000 in her campaign account during 2024’s first quarter.
