DSA Breakthrough: Angie Nixon Wins Florida Senate Primary

Florida state Rep. Angie Nixon, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, pulled off a historic upset by winning the Democratic Senate primary over former Trump impeachment witness Alex Vindman, marking the DSA’s first major statewide nomination. Nixon, who raised about $975,000 compared with Vindman’s $16.3 million, built a deep organizing base across Jacksonville and liberal pockets of the state, winning by double digits. The victory reshapes Florida Democratic politics and will test how Republicans frame Nixon’s socialist label in a Trump-leaning state ahead of the general election.
