Thank you to the @FloridaGOP, the @MiamiDadeGOP, and the hardworking grassroots volunteers across South Florida for your relentless registration efforts.
THE BEST IS YET TO COME. https://t.co/8HUVO0lHgc
Nevertheless, Alexander Vindman thinks he's got what it takes to be Florida's newest senator.
In an exclusive interview with @CBSMiami, retired Lt. Col. @AVindman - who sparked the first Trump impeachment - said he is considering a run for the US Senate in Florida against @SenAshleyMoody

CBS News reports:
Alexander Vindman, the whistleblower who triggered Donald Trump's first impeachment, is considering a run for the United States Senate next year against Florida Republican Ashley Moody.
In an exclusive interview with CBS News Miami, the retired lieutenant colonel said he was approached about running and was discussing it with close friends and advisors.
"I think that the Democrats need to win in some very, very difficult places in order to wrestle control back," he explained during an interview scheduled to air Sunday morning on Facing South Florida. "I'm not sure if Florida is the place to do that. It might be. My worldview is that Trump is going to hurt a lot of people, and this will be a referendum [on Trump] and there'll be an opportunity for people power to manifest. Folks will show up that stayed on the sidelines last time, or that got more than they bargained for with Donald Trump. So, I don't think the state is too far gone by any means. I certainly don't believe that. I just don't know if I'm the right person to do that or if that's the right role for me."
Spoiler alert: You're not the right person for anything.
At least he'll have the backing of Florida Democratic Chair Nikki Fried, who was once a big supporter of Ashley Moody.
Nikki Fried vs Nikki Fried 🤔

Man, I hope he runs. He'd lose by double digits and the humiliation of this fat, egomaniacal prick would be delicious. https://t.co/y1m361B4Em

He looks like he's slimmed down a little bit as a civilian. Maybe food money has been harder to come by.

Tell him to stay far away from Florida. We don't go for his bullshit here.

The audacity of narcissists.

Dude is a total laughingstock. I hope he runs as it would be the biggest embarrassment in political history when those votes come in. Oh please do it.

This traitorous POS needs to be in prison for the rest of his miserable life.

His twin brother Yevgeny Vindman won a congressional seat in Virginia … maybe that gave him the idea.
Dude is a sleaze ball. He’d get crushed.

I would suggest Vindman go home to his birth place in Ukraine and fight the good fight

He's traveled to Ukraine to hang out with Volodymyr Zelensky, but we don't think he ever got close to the front lines.
I can promise you we won’t allow that.

He'd get annihilated by 20+ points

Keep in mind he's just thinking about it … he doesn't have the T-shirts and yard signs printed up quite yet. Here's hoping he does run.
