Angie Nixon wins Florida Senate primary in upset over Alexander Vindman; declares, "We did it ya’ll" and emphasizes universal health care.

Angie Nixon emerged victorious in the Florida Democratic Senate primary, defeating Alexander Vindman, a retired Army lieutenant colonel, in a significant upset. The race was called shortly after polls closed at 8 p.m. ET, with Nixon's campaign emphasizing universal health care and workers' rights.¹²

"We did it ya’ll," Nixon exclaimed after her win, expressing gratitude to her supporters. Her platform includes higher taxes on the wealthy, a federal minimum wage increase to $25 an hour, and a commitment to public education and childcare as critical infrastructure.

Nixon's victory is seen as a testament to grassroots campaigning, with political analysts noting that money isn’t everything in elections. "Organized people can beat big money. Angie Nixon just proved it," said Pringle, highlighting the significance of Nixon's win against a better-funded opponent.

Nixon's campaign resonated with voters, as she stated, "We know workers deserve a living wage. We know healthcare is a human right." She also addressed the challenges ahead, asserting, "Ashley Moody and her billionaire donors are terrified of us... We know the attacks are coming, but guess what? I’m standing 10 toes down, and we’re going to fight. That’s what we do."
