Florida Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz defeats progressive challenger Oliver Larkin in the party’s primary for the state’s 25th Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ projections. Moskowitz, seeking a third term, is projected to win the nomination and advances toward the general election.
The contest pits the incumbent against a left-leaning opponent. Multiple outlets describe Larkin as a progressive union organizer backed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). While the race is presented as competitive—reflecting uncertainty about how the district will vote in November—both outlets characterize Moskowitz’s win as a setback for DSA-aligned efforts to challenge moderate incumbents.
Outlets differ mainly in emphasis. The Hill focuses on Moskowitz “warding off” the DSA-backed challenger in a toss-up seat context, while the New York Post frames the result as a blow to the party’s left wing in a broader pattern of mixed outcomes in recent primaries.
