Vindman Announces Florida Senate Bid as Democrat
The Spin
Republican narrative
Vindman is a traitor who belongs in Leavenworth Federal Prison for disrupting national security policy, not running for Senate. He acted as a political operative during the impeachment witch hunt against Trump, not as an apolitical military officer. His testimony was part of a seditious coup attempt, and he committed perjury under oath. As his campaign unfolds, the sources of its funding will be worth close scrutiny.
Democratic narrative
Vindman will be a fine Senate candidate, and hopefully senator. He stepped forward to tell the truth about Trump's corruption, accepting the personal cost because service means putting principle over politics. Trump fired him for exposing the truth, and now this genuine patriot is running to hold Trump accountable and fight for working families facing higher costs and a rigged economy.
