DSA Member Angie Nixon Wins Florida Senate Primary, Defeating Vindman in Historic First

Florida state representative Angie Nixon won the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination on August 18, 2026, defeating Alexander Vindman, who held a significant cash advantage and establishment backing. Nixon became the first member of the Democratic Socialists of America to win a statewide primary, though the DSA did not formally endorse her. She now faces steep Republican headwinds in November.
