Ashley Moody holds a commanding position in the Florida U.S. Senate special election due to her incumbency since her 2025 appointment, a decisive Republican primary victory, and endorsement from President Trump in a state that leaned strongly Republican in recent presidential voting. Polling averages show her ahead by roughly six to eight points, supported by greater cash reserves and broader name recognition compared with state Representative Angie Nixon. The race heads to November 3 with forecasters rating it Likely or Solid Republican. Potential shifts could stem from unusually high Democratic turnout, late revelations affecting either candidate, or unexpected developments in the final week that alter voter sentiment in this special election to complete the term ending in 2029.
