One-on-one with Democratic Senate candidate Josh Weil

Jim speaks with the schoolteacher from Central Florida who is running against Ashley Moody in next year’s special election. Why is he running?

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, says he thinks he can tap into anti-Donald Trump sentiment and raise $100 million to defeat incumbent Sen. Ashley Moody or any other comers.
