Progressive DSA candidate Nixon shocks Florida Senate primary

Democratic Socialist Angie Nixon, a Florida state representative, won the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate in Florida over fundraising powerhouse Alexander Vindman, setting up a November contest against Republican incumbent Ashley Moody. Nixon, an outspoken critic of DeSantis who has faced misdemeanor charges from a protest, ran with far less money than Vindman, who focused on Moody and did not debate Nixon. The victory adds to a wave of DSA-backed primary wins, even as other Florida races leaned establishment.
