A Democratic Socialist, Oliver Larkin, is attempting to unseat Rep. Jared Moskowitz, a top AIPAC beneficiary, in Florida's 2024 primary. Moskowitz, known for his pro-Israel stance and ties to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, is defending his incumbent status with substantial campaign donations. Larkin, a 34-year-old union organizer, rejects the Florida Democratic Party's strategy of catering to Republican and independent voters, advocating an openly leftist platform.
He supports Medicare for All, opposes the embargo on Cuba, and criticizes weapons transfers to Israel. Polls show Larkin in a close race, while Moskowitz leads in others. The race is seen as a significant indicator of the generational and ideological divide within the Democratic Party, particularly among the Latino electorate.
