Overview
- Bilzerian, who filed his candidacy Tuesday according to an FEC record (Form FEC-1958444), is running as a Republican in Florida’s 6th District against Rep. Randy Fine.
- His filing lists a Las Vegas address, which drew scrutiny even though House members only need to live in the state by the time they are elected, not when they open a campaign account.
- During a live TMZ interview, he used the n-word while defending posts that called Fine a “fat Jew,” then rejected the term antisemitic and said he prefers “anti-Jewish.”
- Coverage has cataloged prior statements attacking Jews and Israel, including posts telling Fine he puts Israel before America and urging treason charges for doing so.
- Fine’s team points to three endorsements from President Trump and an incumbent’s edge in a GOP-leaning district, while Bilzerian’s early operation looked shaky as campaign sites blinked offline and he publicly urged using the 25th Amendment against Trump.
