Florida congressional race set between anti-Zionist democratic socialist, staunch Israel supporter

Florida's 25th Congressional District Democratic primary pits anti-Zionist DSA member Oliver Larkin against pro-Israel incumbent Jared Moskowitz. The race, in a district with a 25% Jewish electorate, tests the progressive insurgency's reach. Polls conflict: Moskowitz-aligned firms show a 30-plus point lead, while a Larkin-aligned poll shows a dead heat. Moskowitz has outraised Larkin 11-to-1, with AIPAC raising $667,200 of his $2.5 million. Larkin supports an arms embargo on Israel and has backed arresting Netanyahu.

Democratic primary voters in Florida's newly drawn 25th Congressional District are voting on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, in a race that pits anti-Zionist democratic socialist Oliver Larkin against two-term incumbent Jared Moskowitz, a staunch Israel supporter. The district, which includes Delray Beach, Boca Raton, and Miami Beach, has an electorate that is roughly 25% Jewish, making it a test of whether the Democratic Party's progressive insurgency can extend to a heavily Jewish, center-leaning district. Redistricting has transformed the area from solidly Democratic territory into a district that US President Donald Trump would have carried in 2024. Larkin, a DSA member who worked on Bernie Sanders' 2016 campaign, has accused Israel of genocide, called for ending US military aid, and supports a one-state solution. He has backed New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's goal of arresting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Moskowitz, endorsed by AIPAC and Democratic Majority for Israel, has accused Larkin of fueling antisemitism and has refused to debate him. Polling is conflicting: Moskowitz-aligned firms show him leading by 30-plus points, while a Larkin-aligned poll shows a dead heat. Moskowitz has outraised Larkin 11-to-1, with AIPAC raising $667,200 of his $2.5 million. Larkin has received support from left-wing streamers Hasan Piker and Michael Beyer, both of whom have drawn antisemitism accusations.
