Florida Rep. Fine easily fends off primary challenge from antisemitic influencer

Jewish far-right firebrand Rep. Randy Fine secures a landslide victory in his Florida GOP primary, defeating a candidate who had used antisemitic messaging and endorsed killing Israelis.

Fine wins nearly 57 percent of the vote for Florida’s 6th District, easily besting mega-influencer Dan Bilzerian, who garners less than 19%.

Fine, who is currently serving his first term in Congress, was endorsed by President Donald Trump, the Republican Jewish Coalition and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. However, he has sparked anger in Congress on both sides of the aisle for comments disparaging Muslims — including comparing them to dogs — and saying that Gazans should “starve away” until the Israeli hostages were released.

Bilzerian, an influencer who has spread conspiracy theories about Jews, has previously said that he wants to “kill Israelis” and described his opponent as a “fat Jew.”

“District 6 understands the Jewish problem,” Bilzerian posted on X on Saturday, following up the next day with a message that “the Jew is scared.” A recent Bilzerian campaign music video referenced Adolf Hitler in a positive light, featuring the lyrics, “Should we revisit that Austrian painter’s opinions?”
