It's very early right now and the actual gubernatorial primary won't be held until August 18th of next year. No doubt there will be multiple candidates running although it's pretty obvious Charlie Crist won't be one of them as Democrats aren't going to want a gubernatorial candidate. Crist lost two such elections, including one back in 2014 where Crist narrowly lost to Rick Scott when he was Governor and the other with facing Ron DeSantis back in 2022, a much harder opponent than Scott.
Yes, Ashley Moody is considerably less known that Marco Rubio was before he became Secretary of State. She's likely still going to win the Senate special election although it's a question of how much. Noting that both Debbie Mucarsel-Powell and Val Demmings (two high profile Democrats) have not been able to narrow down the voting percentage margins in their respective races, it's going to be a challenge for any respective Democratic Senate Candidate next year.
The biggest problem Democrats face in Florida is turning out the base. Independents and moderates they can be more creative with as far as outreach but Democrats have seen low turnout in key races.
