While it’s uncertain whether anyone ultimately primaries Sen. Ashley Moody, what is certain is the Plant City Republican has the biggest “Complete and Total Endorsement” in the Republican Party courtesy of Donald Trump.
Trump lauds the twice-elected former Attorney General, appointed to replace Marco Rubio earlier this year, as “doing a tremendous job representing the incredible people of Florida.”
“Ashley is working tirelessly to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Champion American Energy DOMINANCE, Help Secure our already Secure Southern Border, Stop Migrant Crime, Murderers, and other Criminals from illegally entering our Country, Strengthen our Great Military/Veterans, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment,” Trump posted Thursday to Truth Social.
Trump’s backing is timely, as a new poll by the University of North Florida Public Opinion Research Lab (PORL) suggests a majority of Republicans have no opinion about her, even as she was on a statewide ballot in 2018 and 2022.
All told, 45% of them have never heard of the Plant City Republican and 10% simply don’t know what they think.
While 35% of Republicans approve of Moody, 10% say they do not.
Moody has nearly $2 million cash on hand, but with Trump backing her, she won’t need that money in August in all likelihood. One challenger, J6’er Jake Lang, reported a little more than $25,000 in cash.
The only other significant candidate running is Democrat Josh Weil, who lost a Special election in the 6th Congressional District this year.. Weil has reported raising nearly $125,000.
The Kalshi prediction market says the Republican has an 89% chance of winning next November.
