FL Democrat Senate Candidate Angie Nixon Trying to Distance Herself from Socialism Despite Joining DSA
Hannah Knudsen 21 Aug 2026
Florida’s Democrat Senate candidate Angie Nixon is trying to rewrite history, distancing herself from socialism despite her membership in the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
Nixon took a surprise win in Florida’s primary on Tuesday, defeating prolific Trump hater Alex Vindman. The member of the Florida House carries an array of radical leftwing positions aligned with American socialists, including “abolishing” Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), funding universal health care, and implementing universal childcare and pre-kindergarten — a socialist policy with high favorability across America.
Yet, she is trying to distance herself from her socialist counterparts despite formally joining DSA earlier this year. During an appearance on NBC News, Nixon responded to her opponent, Republican Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL), reminding Floridians that Nixon is a member of DSA. Nixon bizarrely suggested that Moody’s factual description of her status as a socialist was a lie.
“You know, when people’s voice start getting squeaky and really high pitched, usually they’re lying. And Ashley Moody knows that I’m not a socialist,” Nixon claimed, asserting she only joined DSA because she aligns with them on “fighting for adequate public public housing, as well as fighting for quality healthcare, as well as making sure that we are getting our veterans off the street, taking big money out of politics.”
“The Democratic Party is a big tent,” she continued.
“It’s an everybody party. We have folks on the left, on the right, to the middle of the party,” she continued, claiming she does not agree with DSA’s proposal to abolish the Senate.
