Alex Vindman, key Trump impeachment witness, launches Florida Senate run
Alexander Vindman, a veteran and key impeachment witness, targets GOP Sen. Ashley Moody in Florida’s 2026 Senate race amid a competitive Democratic primary.
- On Tuesday, Alexander Vindman announced he is running for the U.S. Senate in Florida as a Democrat, launching his campaign with a video recalling his 2019 impeachment testimony.
- As a former NSC official, Vindman testified that President Donald Trump pressed Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden, framing his run on his refugee family background and 21-year Army career, including a Purple Heart.
- In the launch ad, Vindman attacked Ashley Moody's stock trades and insurance ties, joining a crowded Democratic primary with state Rep. Angie Nixon and Jennifer Jenkins ahead of the Aug. 18 vote.
- Vindman's profile should help fundraising, yet statewide efforts face challenges in Florida's solid Republican special election in November to finish Marco Rubio's term.
- Moody, who was appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, has Trump's endorsement and raised millions, while Florida's recent Republican trend and Marco Rubio's nearly 58% reelection highlight Democrats' uphill path.
