Donald Trump says Alexander Vindman “should be prosecuted for what he’d did!” after primary loss

Florida Democrats nominated state Representative Angie Nixon, a democratic socialist and labor organizer, for the U.S. Senate after she defeated Alexander Vindman in Tuesday's primary. Vindman, a former National Security Council official whose testimony helped drive Donald Trump’s first impeachment, raised far more money and had establishment support. Nixon will face Republican Senator Ashley Moody, appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis to replace Marco Rubio after Trump selected Rubio for secretary of state. Trump wrote on Truth Social that he was pleased by Vindman’s loss and suggested the former official should face prosecution. The outcome continues a pattern of anti-Trump figures from the first impeachment era losing primaries to more overtly progressive challengers, and it has encouraged Republicans while giving progressives hope for their message.
