On November 4, 2026, Ashley Moody won the special Senate election in Florida for Marco Rubio’s old seat, defeating her Democratic opponent Angie Nixon. With 50.7% of the vote compared to Nixon's 48.2%, Moody secured her first full six-year term as a U.S. Senator. The race was closely watched due to its potential impact on the Republican control of the Senate; Moody outspent Nixon with over $20 million in fundraising versus Nixon’s $8.5 million. Despite Nixon’s initial upset victory in the Democratic primary and endorsements from prominent Democrats like Bernie Sanders, her socialist platform may have alienated some voters, contributing to her loss.
