DSA candidate Angie Nixon loses Senate race by a hair in Florida
Angie Nixon's rise was an anomaly in Florida, a solidly red state that has elected only Republicans to the Senate since 2012. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Jared Moskowitz won reelection in their redrawn districts
Republican Senator Ashley Moody defeated Democrat Angie Nixon in the Florida Senate race, according to a CBS News projection. The victory keeps the seat under Republican control. Moody, 51, was appointed to the position last year to fill a vacancy left by Marco Rubio and previously served as Florida's attorney general.
Nixon, 42, has represented portions of the Jacksonville area in the Florida Statehouse since 2020. A democratic socialist candidate, Nixon had previously defeated a more moderate opponent in the primary. CBS News reported that Nixon's opponents utilized her socialist label during the general election, which may have alienated certain immigrant populations in the state.
Haaretz noted that Nixon's rise was an anomaly in Florida, a state that has elected only Republicans to the Senate since 2012. In other election news, CBS News and The Guardian US reported that Democratic Congressman Chris Pappas won the U.S. Senate race in New Hampshire, defeating former Republican Senator John Sununu.
