President Donald Trump was gloating Tuesday night as Democrat Alexander Vindman’s U.S. Senate dream turned into an absolute nightmare. Vindman was handily defeated in the Florida Democrat Senate primary by a poorly funded member of the Democratic Socialists of America. It was a huge upset as he lost by 12 points to State Rep. Angie Nixon. Ouch! Nixon will face off against Republican Ashley Moody in November.
Here’s how it went down on CNN. (WATCH)

Crystal Ball just woke up the reality that anyone who spends any amount of time in Florida knows - Republicans are wildly popular here. The State just keeps getting redder and redder.

Nixon pulling off a similar upset against Moody is unlikely.
Trump posted his thoughts online about Vindman. Here’s how we suspect Vindman responded. (WATCH)

Too funny! So well-earned.
Vindman is encouraging Floridians to vote for Nixon, a psychotic DSA member.
Who would've ever thought that a Jewish refugee would make it to the U.S. Army, to the White House, and to becoming a candidate for the U.S. Senate? Only in America is that possible, and it would not have been possible without you, Florida.
I still believe in the American Dream, because I've lived it. It's worth fighting for.
Rep. Nixon ran a strong campaign. I will be standing by her side in the fight against Ashley Moody. I hope you'll join me.

Vindman broke the military chain of command to bring false information to congressional coconspirators as part of a failed coup against his Commander in Chief. In a sane world, Vindman would have been court-martialed, promptly convicted and dispatched accordingly 5 years ago pic.twitter.com/FsPkXmAMqR

We would love to see him behind bars, but it is nice seeing him so thoroughly rejected by voters.
It’s about time someone deflated Vindman’s inflated ego. Remember when he was on CNN making demands of Trump? (WATCH)
Remember when Vindman went on CNN to “demand” Trump apologize to Zelenskyy.

“I demand it!!"
A DSA candidate just crushed this arrogant clown after he out-raised her 16-1.
Oof. pic.twitter.com/eIwoLcAytT
When you lose to a socialist in Florida, after spending 16x your opponent, calling you a loser doesn’t really describe the magnitude of how much of a loser you are. 😂

Absolute humiliation. He deserves worse, but this will do for now.
— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) August 19, 2026
It’s a good start, and glad my state was the one to truly humiliate that POS traitor.

Thank you, Florida!
