Ashley Moody wins Florida Senate race, CBS News projects

cbsnews.com —

Republican Sen. Ashley Moody defeated Democrat Angie Nixon in Florida's Senate race, CBS News projects, keeping the seat under Republican control. Moody, 51, was appointed last year to fill the vacancy left by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and previously served as Florida's attorney general. Nixon, 42, a democratic socialist state representative from Jacksonville, won the primary against a moderate opponent. Florida has shifted from a purple state to a reliably red one, with Trump winning it by 13 points in 2024. Nixon's socialist label was a campaign focus, and Moody will serve out Rubio's term ending in early 2029.
