- The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, along with Mark Kelly, Jack Reed, and Tammy Duckworth, backed Vindman, while Nixon secured support from progressives including Maxwell Frost, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib.

- Nixon will face Republican Senator Ashley Moody in the general election, with Moody having secured nearly 80 percent of her primary vote and currently rated as a comfortable favorite.
