EXCLUSIVE: Ex-FBoy Island Star Mark Moran Drops Senate Bid, Sets Eyes On Soros-Backed DA

WASHINGTON — Viral former reality TV star Mark Moran casually told the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation he is dropping his independent run for Senate and wants to challenge a George Soros-funded prosecutor instead.

Moran told the DCNF more than one hour into an interview that he sees “no viable” path to victory for his longshot bid to unseat Democratic Virginia Sen. Mark Warner. Minutes earlier, the 34-year-old lawyer and former investment banker said he is considering an independent 2027 run against left-wing Democratic Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano.

After Moran expressed interest in running against Descano, the DCNF asked him if he still plans to stay in the Senate race. In response, he broke the news of his exit.

“I will be removing myself from it. And I’ll give this the opportunity to make this the point, because I look at it as there is no viable way for me to win,” he said.

“I know that will make a lot of people on the left very happy,” he added. “But also the thing I think that they’ve learned is that my mouth won’t shut up just because I’m not running for Senate.”

Beyond this, Moran doubted if federal office would be the best way to make a difference to his Northern Virginia community.

“Even if I were to be elected to Senate, what change am I going to do to the area that I live in now that I grew up in? How am I going to make that safer?” he asked.

“And once that hit me, that I won’t be able to — well, then I realized perhaps I was pursuing something different than I should have been pursuing,” Moran added.
