DAYTONA BEACH (VINnews) — Jewish Congressman Randy Fine, a steadfast defender of Israel and the Jewish people, faces off Tuesday against the openly antisemitic social media influencer Dan Bilzerian in the Republican primary for Florida’s 6th Congressional District.

Fine, who won the seat in a 2025 special election, has earned a reputation as one of the strongest pro-Israel voices in Congress. His clear-eyed support for the Jewish state and refusal to tolerate Jew-hatred stand in stark contrast to the vile campaign being run by Bilzerian.

Bilzerian, a dual U.S.-Armenian citizen and online provocateur with no meaningful ties to the district, has spent the race spewing rank antisemitism. He has repeatedly called Fine a “fat Jew,” pushed conspiracy theories about Jews and Israel, and released a repulsive AI-generated video that invoked Adolf Hitler while trafficking in classic antisemitic tropes. The video and Bilzerian’s broader record of Jew-hatred have been widely condemned across the political spectrum as beyond the pale.

Fine has rightly dismissed Bilzerian as a loser and a terrible antisemite, underscoring that voters in Florida’s solidly Republican 6th District have no interest in electing a foreign dual citizen whose primary platform appears to be hatred of Jews. Fine has also correctly noted that Bilzerian does not live in the district and has no genuine connection to the communities he claims to want to represent.

While a handful of other minor candidates appear on the ballot, the race has centered on Fine’s solid record versus Bilzerian’s toxic bigotry. Prediction markets and fundraising totals show Fine holding a commanding lead, reflecting the good sense of Republican primary voters who recognize the difference between a serious congressman and a hate-peddling influencer.

As polls open across the district, Jewish communities and friends of Israel will be watching closely. A strong showing for Fine would send a clear message that antisemitism — no matter how loudly it is amplified online — has no place in American politics.
