A man accused of battling police with a baseball bat and shield during the January 6 riot at the US Capitol announced a run for the US Senate in Florida.
“WE ARE TAKING OVER THE CAPITOL AGAIN,” Jake Lang, a prominent January 6 defendant, wrote on X, announcing he is seeking the seat vacated by now secretary of state Marco Rubio in 2026.
Lang never stood trial for charges related to his role in the insurrection, seeking continual delays in his case until he was pardoned alongside about 1,600 others who participated in the Capitol attack when Donald Trump took office.

During his time in the DC jail, what he calls the “ DC gulag”, Lang tried to organize a militia, which was initially called the North American Patriot and Liberty Militia, or Napalm. He created online fundraisers, collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars for January 6 defendants. He appeared in the media while in jail and since he was pardoned, talking about the Capitol charges and emerging as one of the most vocal members of the so-called J6 community.
Lang has not expressed regret for his actions on 6 January 2021 and has frequently referred to himself as a political prisoner.
