Florida GOP Incumbent Randy Fine Roundly Defeats Antisemitic Candidate

The Nazi lost. Did anyone do a wellness check on Tucker and Candace?

The incumbent—Republican Randy Fine—initially was appointed to the seat after Rep. Mike Waltz stepped away to serve in the administration. Fine—who is Jewish—became a target for vile antisemitism, most immediately here with a challenge from a particularly dark candidate, Dan Bilzerian (background from David Strom: Hot Air).

Fine won handily—with 60 percent of the vote (Decision Desk).

New York Post: Rep. Randy Fine easily turned back a Republican primary challenge Tuesday by far-right influencer Dan Bilzerian, who suggested in one campaign ad that Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler needed to be reassessed. With two-thirds of the expected vote in, Fine had scored 56.7% of the vote compared to Bilzerian’s 18%. Bilzerian’s shocking commercial — which referred to Fine (R-Fla.) as a “fat Jew,” “Shylock,” “Jewish supremacist,” “Satanic whore,” and “Satan’s creepy little minion” — drew a rare bipartisan rebuke from both House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). The spot also used artificial intelligence to make Fine appear fatter and show him hugging a bag full of cash, while frequently cutting to the Israeli flag (New York Post).
