About the issue

Josh Weil lost an April 1 congressional special election, but he has announced he will run for the U.S. Senate seat in Florida on the 2026 ballot. 

Weil, a former teacher who attracted endorsements from Bernie Sanders and rapper Killer Mike during that congressional run, said he thinks he can tap into anti-Donald Trump sentiment and raise $100 million to defeat incumbent Sen. Moody or any other comers.
