Democrat Jennifer Jenkins announced she is stepping out of Florida's U.S. Senate race to back Alexander Vindman. Florida is too important to stay divided, which is why I've decided to step aside and proudly endorse @AVindman for U.S. Senate," Jenkins wrote on X. That’s why I am so proud to endorse Lt. Col. Alex Vindman for the United States Senate." With Jenkins out, the race for the Democratic nomination is currently between Vindman and Rep. Angie Nixon (D-Jacksonville), who announced her candidacy last week. The Democratic Senate primary is Aug. 18.
