Let's check in with Fox 13's Kylie Jones,
who joins us live from Ashley Moody's election night party.
Kylie, how are things going there?
Polls are closed.
Votes are starting to come in really quickly.
Again, this is going to be likely one of those races,
as a lot of people expected, that might
take a little longer to determine a winner with.
A lot of races are already being called.
It hasn't even been an hour since the polls have closed,
but a lot of people did anticipate
this potentially taking a little bit more time.
And actually, if you want to take a look,
we're in commercial right now, but a lot of
people have their eyes on the polls.
Huge crowd we've got going on here.
This is actually Moody's stopping ground
Senator Moody is from Hillsborough County,
she is from Plant City, so you can just see
the support that she has right now
at her watch party here in Tampa back home.
Prior to serving as U.S. Senator,
she served as the Attorney General of Florida for several
years from 2019 to 2025.
In January of last year, she was appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis
to U.S. Senate. She replaced the former Senator Marco Rubio,
who resigned to take over as
Secretary of State.
So she has only been in the seat at in the Senate seat for about
About two years now, she is hoping to hang on to that seat,
but this will be the first time that she has to earn the voters support
and win this election to maintain her seat in the Senate
and carry out the rest of this term.
And we have seen support for both Moody and her opponent,
Representative Angie Nixon across the state. So that is why this is one
of those races to watch not only here in Florida, but nationwide.
