Nixon's Upset and the Shift to the Left The surprise victory of Florida State Rep. Angie Nixon in the Democratic Senate primary has sent shockwaves through the party establishment.
Nixon, a self described democratic socialist, defeated her well funded rival Alex Vindman by a 56% to 44% margin, with nearly all ballots counted.
Nixon's win is not just a local anomaly but part of a broader trend of left leaning candidates gaining momentum across the country.
