Jared Moskowitz
Type: person | Domain relevance: the Democratic incumbent who delivered the DSA’s one clear 2026 House-primary defeat, and who chose Hasan Piker as the face of the movement he beat.
Summary
Two-term Democratic congressman from South Florida (former DeSantis emergency-management chief) who won renomination on August 18, 2026 over DSA-endorsed Oliver Larkin, 63.5 to 36.5, in a redrawn seat rated a toss-up. Endorsed by AIPAC and Democratic Majority for Israel, he outraised Larkin about 11 to 1 and ran on bipartisan electability, opposition to “extremists in both parties,” and unconditional support for Israel. His post-win taunt, “My condolences to @hasanthehun,” made the race a proxy fight with Piker rather than with Larkin. Faces Republican Scott Singer (Boca Raton mayor) in November (Moskowitz taunts Piker after primary win, Jared Moskowitz Defeats DSA Challenger Oliver Larkin In Florida Democratic Primary, Moskowitz defeats anti-Zionist challenger in heavily Jewish South Florida district).
