How progressive are Florida Democrats? Alex Vindman, Angie Nixon Senate race offers a test
Florida's August 18 Senate primary pits progressive state Rep. Angie Nixon against moderate first-time candidate Alex Vindman, a retired Army lieutenant colonel. Nixon faces past criticism for a disruptive protest, while Vindman avoids debate and disputes the influence of progressive movements in Florida. Republican Sen. Ashley Moody campaigns against left-leaning Democrats, labeling them as 'anarchist psychos,' but faces multiple intra-party challengers.
