Positions

LiberalConservative

Immigration & Border

The candidate has made public comments critical of immigration enforcement actions (specifically criticizing an ICE agent shooting) and has referenced the phrase “open borders” in his social-media posts, but has not published a clear policy platform laying out specific immigration or border-control proposals. Available public statements combine skepticism of enforcement actions with vague critiques of ‘open borders,’ producing an unclear overall policy position on immigration and the border.

Public Safety & Guns

The candidate is a vocal pro-gun public figure who publicly celebrates owning and using firearms and has praised pro-gun politicians. He has framed fewer gun-control laws as preferable and frequently posts about firing and collecting weapons. His public behavior indicates opposition to significant new firearm regulations.

Last updatedMay 5, 2026

Dan Bilzerian is in the news after Florida Rep. Randy Fine, running in the Florida 6th District GOP primary, drew backlash for saying on a podcast that “we don’t want Armenians to be able to serve in Congress” while attacking Bilzerian. The Armenian National Committee of America condemned the remarks as racist and disqualifying, and the dispute has sparked wider political commentary, including from Marjorie Taylor Greene.
