Vote 2026: Primary election results for Florida’s U.S. Senate race on Aug. 18, 2026

Vote 2026 Election Results (WJXT)

One of Florida’s U.S. Senate seats is on the ballot this year, in an election that doesn’t follow the typical Senate election cycle.

In January 2025, after President Donald Trump began his second term, Senator Marco Rubio was named Secretary of State, vacating his Senate seat. Gov. Ron DeSantis then appointed the state’s attorney general, Ashley Moody, to Rubio’s seat. The appointment would last until after the next general election, which is the November 2026 election. The winner of this year’s election will serve the remaining two years of Rubio’s original term.
