Ashley Moody holds a commanding position in the Florida U.S. Senate special election as the Republican appointee to the seat vacated by Marco Rubio in 2025, bolstered by President Trump's endorsement and an easy primary victory with nearly 80% of the GOP vote. Consistent polling throughout October shows Moody ahead by 4 to 8 points in a state with a longstanding Republican registration and turnout advantage, while Democratic nominee Angie Nixon, a state representative who upset Alex Vindman in her primary, faces structural headwinds despite strong fundraising in the final stretch. Forecasters rate the contest Likely or Solid Republican ahead of the November 3 vote, reflecting the limited path for Nixon to overcome partisan divides and Moody's established support among key voter blocs.
