Alex Vindman, Trump impeachment witness, to run as Democrat for Senate
Alex Vindman, who became a key player along with his twin brother in Donald Trump’s first impeachment, announced on Tuesday that he is running for the US Senate as a Democrat in Florida.
Vindman, an army veteran, was serving on the national security council in 2019 during Trump’s first presidency. That year, Trump pressured the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to investigate Joe Biden.
Vindman and his brother, Eugene, a lawyer on the national security council, reported their concerns and sparked investigations – before Trump would lose the 2020 presidential election to Biden.
Eugene Vindman now serves as a congressman from Virginia. If Alex Vindman clinches the Democratic nomination, he will challenge the Republican US senator Ashley Moody, a former state attorney general who was appointed to fill the seat vacated by Marco Rubio as he became secretary of state for Trump’s second presidency.
The winner of November’s special election will finish the last two years of Rubio’s term.

It would be cool to have two Vindmans in Congress...
