Jewish Insider Digs Into Who Funded Dan Bilzerian’s Florida Primary Run Dan Bilzerian lost badly last week in the GOP primary against Jewish Congressman Randy Fine in Florida’s 6th District. Now Jewish Insider is looking at who still wrote him checks. Bilzerian ran an openly antisemitic campaign. He used Hitler imagery, AI clips of Fine with horns, and slurs like “fat Jew Randy.” He still pulled about 19% of the vote. After his own money, some of the biggest donors were Georgia attorneys Rawan and Ibrahim Awad, who gave more than $25,000 combined. Ibrahim Awad also donated this cycle to left-wing, anti-Israel candidates including Abdul El-Sayed, Cori Bush, and others. Other names on the reports include far-right figures and donors who have also backed anti-Israel Democrats. Florida Scoop’s Take: The race is over. Fine won comfortably. The donor list is the part that still deserves attention.
