Angie Nixon Wins Florida Primary

Angie Nixon, a Jacksonville state representative and Democratic Socialists of America member, won Florida’s Democratic U.S. Senate primary Tuesday, defeating better-funded moderate Alex Vindman despite being outspent 13-to-1. Nixon campaigned on a left-wing economic platform centered on affordability, making the result a test of progressive strength in Florida’s increasingly conservative electorate. After the win, critics highlighted past remarks in which she said Republicans were “literally trying to kill us” and defended taking children to drag shows as “wholesome.”
