Angie Nixon won Florida's Democratic Senate primary and faces scrutiny over her DSA ties and socialist label.
Florida state Rep. Angie Nixon, a DSA member, defeated centrist Alex Vindman in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. Nixon is now attempting to distance herself from the socialist label while Sen. Bernie Sanders has endorsed her campaign. State party chair Nikki Fried and other Democrats have expressed concerns that Nixon's DSA ties could hurt the party in the general election against Republican Sen. Ashley Moody.
